DISAPPOINTED !
We stayed for 2 nights, and Room No. 7 might be quite small for anyone considering staying here.
1. The TV cannot connect to the internet and offers no entertainment except for cable channels.
2. The spa and jacuzzi are not functional (this was one of the reasons we decided to stay here, but unfortunately, they were out of order).
3. The water pressure in the shower, on a scale of 1 to 10, would only score a 3.
4. Breakfast is not provided.
5. The fridge contained only a tiny carton of milk and a bottle of tap water.

This choice might have been too high of an expectation for us given the price of 300 per night.

We hope this review will lead to better management in the future. Thank you.

It was listed as a 4 star, but far from it. Maybe a 2. The wall between the entrance to the room and the bedroom was unnecessary, terrible instructions on how to gain excess to the main building by the women speaking broken english, she couldn't understand what we were saying.
And the rail on the balcony isnt very stable. When we went to use the spa, water was spraying everywhere due to being broken

Overall, the stay was fine, but several niggles stopped it being a perfect stay.||Good:|- Across the road from Moona Moona park with the sea visible between the trees |- Upstairs rooms with balconies had a better views|- Room was clean, comfy bed, large TV, small fridge and air conditioning|- Ours was an accessible room, so the bathroom was very spacious|- 3 parking spots available directly outside, otherwise free parking across the road|- Their website says its a 10min walk to Huskisson shops, but it was 20mins for us, even as fast walkers. A pleasant walk along the seafront promenade though, or via the roads.|- At the back of the property was a shared jacuzzi and BBQ area with fridge, microwave, pizza oven, sink and some basic utensils. The BBQ was fantastic!|- The shower was hot with good water pressure.|- Handy plug sockets and a light on each side of the bed|- When breakfast did arrive, it was lovely. Juice, yoghurt, bread, fruit, cereal, muffin and milk. Good for continental breakfast.||Bad:|- Check-in was at another motel. The woman was rather cold. No welcome, lovely to meet you etc. I noticed a key return on their wall and asked whether we needed to return to keys to that motel and she said yes. This is actually NOT the case, because there is a key return at the B&B!|- The woman provided no info at all. Your room is upstairs, at the front, at the back etc. There was no map or guide on the key or anywhere inside the building to know where our room was. Fine once you found it, but some basic info would have been appreciated- especially when arriving late.|- She said they'd upgraded our room, which was a lovely gesture. Unfortunately, no one told the staff, so we had no breakfast till I rang the next day to ask what time it would arrive. The breakfast should be left in the room the day before.|- The magnetic lock on our door was loose. It didn't feel secure or safe at all- see pic|- Multiple things in the room weren't finished off. Holes in the ceiling from old fittings, tatty plaster work and stains on the furniture- see pics. It didn't affect the function of the room, but not what I expected for the price.|- The BBQ area had a broken, wooden chair which was dangerous- see pic|- The curtains didn't block the morning light, nor the strong lights from cars parking late at night outside- see pics|- Coffee pods were never replaced and there were only 2 coat hangers.|| I don't know if all rooms had the dodgy locking device, but I wouldn't stay again if they did. A good location for the beach, but further from the shops that I expected.||-

Positive: Close proximity to the beach.

Negative · Room without even the smallest table and chairs.
The mattress is worn and too soft. Due to back pain after sleeping, we were forced to shorten our stay.
It would not be a bad idea to carefully vacuuming the floor from sand and dog hair between the change of guests.

we had a reservation in the name of Douglas Piangers and unfortunately we didn't have such a pleasant time, firstly the internet didn't work, secondly the barbecue area didn't have any kitchen utensils and thirdly the checking has to be done in another location and we only found out when We arrived because there is no such information on the booking sites!

The location is great in front of the beach and the bungalows are clean

We stayed in the main house. It’s an odd set up but we are open to different. The bathroom door didn’t close properly so you want to have a secure relationship due to the lack of privacy.
The bed was soft and was obviously worn, you sink in to a cavity.
Breakfast was included and generous, juice, fruit, bread, yoghurt, however if you don’t eat it all they take what’s left away when they make up your room, so too bad if you wanted a later meal. Considering you pay for the breakfast you would expect they would leave it there for you to enjoy at your own pace.
There were 2 ladies on the ground level that took up permanent residency on the balcony and watched your every move in and out of the house, they were not friendly, didn’t even smile, they smoke, and if you sleep with your room door open then you have a lovely smell of cigarette smoke to wake up to.
Throughout the night there is some weird loud thumping electrical noise, a motor kicking in, multiple times an hour, the air conditioner, well I could fan myself to cool down better that the unit in the small room. Made for a warm nights sleep.
Good location across from a nice beach but would not stay there again

Good sized room and bathroom facilities, great location for the beach. Around a 20 minute walk to centre of town, or a 5 minute drive.

Room was very cold (we did visit in June).

Cold continental breakfast was very disappointing. Each person received one small cereal packet, yoghurt, bread, fruit and a juice. The second day we ended up eating breakfast out. Particularly frustrating as we chose this place based on the fact breakfast was included.

Very disappointing. We booked for one night stayed for Nil
Room was very very small, Spa tub outside our window and was available from 9am to 9pm. Had problems getting the tv to work. Can’t comment on any of the facilities as we didn’t stay long enough. All in all, this place was not worth the money we paid.
I certainly won't come back and can't recommend this place to anyone.
