It was my husbands bday, so they had indicated we would receive a villa with ocean views. We did, but it was further back and we could really see more villas in front of us with small glances of the ocean. So that’s why I gave it a 3. I think if we had of stayed in the bungalows, it was a 4/5 rating. We then stayed at a place on the entrance and when I told them it was my husbands bday, they gave us a bottle of wine and a gift pack of snacks. Very nice. Caves did nothing, but that’s OK, I wasn’t expecting anything. But it is lovely when a hotel delights and surprises. The villa we had was lovely inside. Two rooms with two king beds and two bathrooms. Very spacious. But it was freezing in the bedrooms. There was a gas heater and air conditioner in the lounge room (which was great) but we were freezing when you closed the doors to the bedrooms. Plus the light came in through the blinds, so little chance for a sleep in. Bit that’s being fussy. If you want a place with large beds and lots of room, then this is perfect. There is no breakfast available, if you have an IGA near plus a lovely cafe. You’re also only a walk to caves beach, so that’s great.

Great spot for a weekend away. The winter sun warmed up the room in the morning and sitting on the deck was lovely. The staff were exceptionally good with their service and generosity. We enjoyed Sunday lunch with family and friends and wished we’d stayed another night.

We love staying here. Its just a shame to see the maintenance of the accommodation and restaurant not maintain a clean and up to date presence. Rusted/mouldy Bangalows. Cobwebs all over the windows if you look up. Its just a shame to see the place in its prime condition (i got married here) not to this standard.
