Could Be Better
This place has the potential to be a fantastic spot if some money was spent. For example, cooling system/air conditioning or fans that don’t sound like a truck, a shower that has consistent water temperature, a place that serves morning coffee or breakfast, better cleaning, and curtains that aren’t torn and old, and when the one window is open if there is a wind there is a banging noise. The location is perfect but the hotel not so much.

Easy location from ferry and parking, wonderful character rooms and dining, quiet in evenings but roadworks outside in May2024. Views and walks on beach are lovely, restaurants/coffee bars everywhere. Several top Op shops closeby! Winter rates so stay a few days!
