The owner was very helpful. The room was charming, with a wonderful view. It would be difficult for mobility restricted guest to climb to a number of the rooms on the side of the building, however our room was perfect. The jacuzzi tub was a nice touch,
The Wharf Master’s Inn staff were extremely helpful and Friendly. The Inn was charming with amazing ocean views from the balcony and was very peaceful and quiet. The Wave restaurant was lovely and yummy too.
A truly great find!!
This was my first time staying at Wharfmasters Inn. It makes a nice destination along the north coast. Point Arena is a cute little town with some nice restaurants and music sometimes as well. The little cafe at wharf masters was also nice and convenient. I will surely return.
The room was great with amazing views. Top notch service from all the staff. Highly recommend! We had a fabulous stay, thank you for making our stay special!
What a beautiful surprise, the small lane to access and the feeling of being off the beaten path. The facilities are in pristine shape and very clean. The rooms are nice. The beds, very comfortable. We enjoyed the coziness of the fireplace. The buffet breakfast is small in choices but very good. The yogurt was some off the best I have had. The staff are great!!!
A hidden gem! The entire cove where the Inn is located is amazing. Walk to dinner or the beach. Enjoy the sunset from the deck of the nearby restaurant. We will be back!
We made a last minute reservation at Warf's Master Inn, and could not have had a better experience. Cliff and Jessica were very helpful and accommodating, and the room and view were beautiful. I would recommend staying at the Inn when visiting Port Arena.
We really enjoyed our stay! The view is fantastic. The staff extremely kind and friendly. Overall, the property is very quiet, quaint, and peaceful. It is an older hotel although everything is in good condition and very clean. The jacuzzi tubs are quite loud so we did not use them much. Also we did not try the coffee and pastries, but only because we are early risers, already going about our day by 8am. The town of Point Arena is a gem… we will be back!
Quiet, secluded, romantic.. I could go on and on at all of the benefits that dislocation offers..
The staff is extremely helpful and courteous.
The rooms are spacious, and those with a view are breathtaking.
The rooms come with large Jacuzzi jet bathtubs. For those of us with bad backs, they can be the best view within 100 miles.. ( shut off time is 10 o’clock)
