Great location, comfortable stay, lovely breakfasts

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Aug 2024via mobile
We booked self catering apartments. The location was good. The apartment had everything we needed. They have a good secure car park. The breakfast was located in the main hotel and was lovely, lots of choice. Staff were great and very helpful.. The reception staff checked out whale watching tours in the area and booked the trip we wanted to do for us. If ever we come back we would stay here again.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: Free secure car park. Great Greek Restaurant just over the road. Close to the main centre and shops
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Such a lovely and peaceful escape from the city. Loved that we could walk everywhere and felt so safe. The beautiful surroundings makes it extra special and the hotel offered a luxurious and comfortable stay…with all one needs. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Thank you!

The BEST aspects of this hotel are its views and location! As far as we can tell, many of the units are situated to capture the best views and our particular unit has its own grass patio. The units also looked relatively new and extremely tastefully designed.

What took away from the experience was spotty service. The most professional were the reception staff and restaurant host. However, the support staff who stand around are *mildly* friendly (they return a small smile or hello when you greet them), the person who helped us with luggage could really use more training (he responded with a “Wuh?” when being summoned by the person behind the reception desk (he should be aware the guests can hear him); and when we unloaded the car, he literally took the smallest suitcase while my daughter took the two largest ones. 🙄 He realized the disparity on the walk up the stairs but that was a bit late.

Housekeeping Supplies: we booked this room at the hotel as part of a long road trip *specifically* for the washing machine. And yet, when we arrived, there was no laundry detergent. The reception area said there was none to be found on the entire facility (all these rooms???). I find that hard to believe and suspect that no one really wanted to go search an empty room for some extra laundry detergent. Instead, we were directed to go buy our own at a local store 1/2-mile away … in the dark. I don’t think so. This would have never happened at any of the lodges we stayed in. This interaction was quite disappointing.

Lastly, The shower adjacent to the master bedroom did not drain well. 10 minutes into the shower, we had to get out because the shower pan was starting to overflow.

Overall, it’s still worth the stay.

Room tip: Parking is underground and in a difficult to navigate location. Recommend arriving during a non-busy time

My sincere apology for the luggage service you experienced, I have already addressed this with the team.

We don't supply laundry detergent to the Units; however, I will take this up with our Head Office to be advised if can supply. There are various brands that may suit or not suit guests' preferences (As garments are inContact with the skin)

The shower drain has already been actioned.

We had an amazing stay. Shaun, who looked after us at breakfast was oustanding, warm welcoming and very witty. A real diamond, made us wish we were staying longer. The rooms and location are spectacular. Hope to be back soon and look forward to meeting Shaun again.
