    The hotel has a beautiful sunrise view from the room, which was definitely the highlight of my stay. Waking up to the scenic view made for a great start to the day. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. Parking was quite difficult, especially during busy periods, so be prepared if you're arriving by car. The biggest issue was the room heating. The heater did not provide enough warmth, making it uncomfortable to sleep during the colder late-autumn period approaching winter. The room remained chilly throughout the night, which affected the overall comfort of the stay. Overall, the stunning sunrise view was a major plus, but improvements to parking accessibility and room heating would significantly enhance the guest experience.

    Came with a friend. The place is a gem! Wonderful facilities (everything works well - shower heater, water pressure, TV with netflix) and location with great view. Quiet and clean. Cozy shared spaces. Single common shower toilet (like home - common toilet but shared with different family members, good for people who want more privacy). Even provided an extension cord in the room and bed has a heating mattress! Easy walk to Blue Penguins colony site and to the town centre. 🤩🤩

    6.8 / 10Average·Feb 2026
    Massage chair great, availability of fresh veggies from garden delightful, kitchen well stocked and labelled, quite a bit of lounge space, charging plug ins for every bed. The labelling on reservation was misleading because it said we had 2 rooms and turns out we had two of 6 bunks in one room mixed gender. The saving grace was each bunk had a privacy curtain and its own light Its proximity to the penquin site made it easy. Lots of indoor plants was nice. Lots of equipment in kitchen,. Kind of cluttery. Every else. Good value for the money. We Would rather have paid a little more money and had a room for 2
