Being on the water always good the bed was very large and comfortable
AustraliaEnjoyable stay as always. This is the 7th time I’ve stayed here. Bed is very comfortable and I enjoy the location on the water.
AustraliaBeautiful comfortable king bed and pillows. Extremely quiet room with a nice view of the harbour. A no fuss tasty evening meal in the restaurant and eggs for breakfast was nice too. Black coffee great, but my Husband thought his flat white tasted like hot milk...it happens.
AustraliaGreat location. Good price. Friendly and helpful staff
AustraliaVery nice, few more breakfast options would have been a little better.
AustraliaThe reception staff were very welcoming and explained the Covid related procedures, such as no housekeeping unless requested. We felt confident that everything possible was being done to protect guests. Our king-suite was very comfortable and had a great harbour view. We requested the "Breakfast Box" and a room-service one evening, and both were excellent. It felt like staying in a private apartment, and we felt very much at home. The location cannot be bettered.
AustraliaAmazing views over the harbour, great facilities, clean comfortable and staff were friendly and well trained in hospitality.
AustraliaRight on the harbour. Clean, comfy. We were given a bottle of wine, a nice treat! I think it was a COVID-19 special. Lol.
AustraliaThe rooms are great, and you can’t get a better location.
AustraliaAwesome location, everything in tip top order. Exactly what I was after 👍
