The location is great, 1 block from the beach.
There is no A/C. Ok for most days with a cool ocean breeze. Had a record hot spell for 2days, 85F and so a little warm at night
We waited 2 hours before we could get into our room as I didn’t receive the codes need to enter the premises or our room.
It wasn’t flash but was clean & comfortable.
The Manager was very accommodating & helpful in settling us into our room once we eventually gained access.
There wasn’t any toilet paper available so we had to provide our own.
Excellent location, limited timed parking is a bit annoying but we were lucky enough to get a free park out the front or just around the corner.
Room was clean. As there was availability, the property manager kindly upgraded me from a single to double room. But for $220 for one night I would have expected an ensuite. The view of the petrol station was noisy. Might search harder for another next time
Very disappointed with customer service. It was advertised that our room had a private bathroom and got here and there was no private bathroom- it was shared. We paid extra for the private. There was no one on reception due it covid but this was not advertised on any of the booking information.
It was very untidy , I think the only thing that was cleaned were the bed sheets.

Liked: Cleanliness
It’s in a good position though parking is difficult. We had to move the car every two hours from 8am. Room is tiny. There were no blankets just a sheet and light cover so we had to keep the heater on all night as it’s the middle of winter. Ok for a quick overnight overall. Like a youth hostel.

Disliked: Staff & service
Was over charged twice to the sum on nearly $300, every contact number goes to message bank or is ignored.
Nice and close to everything. Very clean and quiet.

Not a guest house
This accommodation may be listed as a guest house, but it's a youth hostel full of backpackers/communal room and kitchen full of 18-year olds from the UK and Europe. If that's your thing, go ahead and book. If you want to stay in an actual guest house, I'd recommend booking somewhere else.
So clean. Very friendly lady at check in. Very helpful. Close to the beach. We would 100% stay here again. The place had character and not a standard run of the mill hotel room
