The room was booked late at night, and there were no problems getting in.
The bed was comfy. Good supply of milk, tea, and coffee with a plunger. The TV was not a smart TV but had Sky.
The staff and the location….( right next to the beach )
Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2026

Location was good and quiet but some work is needed to make it 5 stars
I struggled to get the card to open the door which was a pain . Definitely has heaps of potential
This property is in a handy location, close to the beach, across the road from takeaways and just up the road from Bayfair. The room was clean and tidy and staff were welcoming. The shower was a bit sensitive to adjust manually, but even without adjustment, water temperature fluctuated quite a bit.
Overall a lovely stay, quiet and peaceful at night, enjoyed it.
Definitely good for what we paid, was hot and stuffy in the rooms could do with aircon but overall we enjoyed it here the pool was beautiful. Staff very friendly.
Enjoyed our stay and for the price. Staff were friendly and it’s in a nice area so close to bayfair shopping centre. Would definitely book again next time.
Love this place. Always so welcomed and cared for when we stay. Handy to Bayfair and Baypark. Ideal for our little family. Staff here are so accommodating and helpful.
