We enjoyed an overnight stay in the 3 bedroom apartment. The room was exceptionally clean and very spacious. Easy parking, and a lovely spot to rest and recharge on our trip further north.

I've returned to this place time and again, and it never disappoints. The rooms are generously sized and immaculately clean, the beds offer exceptional comfort, and the staff consistently deliver courteous, professional service. Situated in a walkable location to many cafes and restaurants. My upstairs room overlooked the river; which is a great sight to greet you. I highly recommend this property.

It was over priced for ehat we got. The TV is old and small and cannot connect to apps like Netflix etc. Had to make coffee in the bathroom which I think is not suitable for the price charged.

Love staying here, on the edge of the main street, making everything in walking distance - bar beaches. Opposite 1 of the best RSL's in Australia that I have been too as a bonus. Being a historical building has a better ambience then a generic modern hotel and the staff are great. There are stairs only to the 2nd level so if you cannot do stairs, let the hotel know before staying.
