Room was good, staff very pleasant, close to the harbor, so we were able to walk down to see the little penguins coming in for the night. Only one came, but it was a treat to see it!
A really nice motel, conveniently located with plenty of eateries within walking distance, plus a nice park and little beach (penquins nest there) It was perfect for our overnight stop. Our studio room was large, clean and well maintained. Although the building is close to the main road, once inside it is very quiet. Sandra in reception is very friendly and helpful.
We had a good pleasant stay here. The proximity to the Caroline bay was a plus. A short drive to the penguin spotting or the carnival during the last week of Dec and New year fireworks. The lodge had a good jacuzzi. Checkin and check out process was smooth. We received helpful tourist tips from the lady at the front desk.
Room was large, clean and well equipped. The staff were extremely helpful. Was slightly noisy at night with the proximity to State Highway 1 and you could occasionally hear the large trucks going by, but generally quiet.
Wonderful accommodation, Sandra was so helpful and friendly, very comfortable beds and very clean and tidy. Great location to walk to beach or town. Highly recommend and we will definitely stay again.
