"If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is your place. The neighbourhood is quiet, calm and tranquil. Staying here will allow you to let out the breath you may have been holding and breathe in fresh sea air. Dining options are great; I highly recommend the burgers and fries at Penguin Beer Co.
