Aircon in the room was dodgy, a touch noisy from the pub downstairs. It’s a pub room and you should expect some ambient pub noise. Room was spotless clean and the staff were friendly.

We stayed one night in a water view room. Small but everything you need and renovated. The room opened out onto a large shared deck. We enjoyed the subset view. The pub itself is very well set out and renovated also. Lots of different spaces to give different vibes. We didn't eat here as there are many great options within a short stroll. The beach is 10 minute easy walk away. Highly recommend as a much cheaper accommodation option.

Parking is a bit of an issue as the hotel does not have their own carpark .I parked around the back in a public car park ( very close) but would have preferred to left my bike in a private carpark owned by the hotel

No hot water

After a 13 hour drive and arriving late after 8pm and having a late dinner, it wasn't till after 10pm that we discovered there was no hot water and no one around to raise the alarm,didn't notify reception till following morning. Response was "we will let maintenance department know" after pressing the issue, was offered a $50 refund that never eventuated.
