Menachem, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful and quaint
A quaint, quiet, comfortable place right on the bay with incredible views. Just a block or so from the town shops and restaurants, but far enough away you don’t hear them. Also just a stone’s throw from the dock where several wonderful bay tours and excursions begin. We did the EcoSeaker dolphin experience which had an excellent tour guide named Steve who is 5th generation in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facilities are well maintained, and the grounds offer many fun things to do…we played several games of giant chess. I would absolutely love to return.

Rest and relax
The room overlooking the water is so tranquil and relaxing it’s much better and worth the extra money. Weather permitting it’s like a very peaceful retreat with great views across harbour and mountains

Decent accommodation by the waterfront.
Great location right on the waterfront. All attractions are in walking distance. Reception and information was not very helpful. Beanbag chairs were a nice touch for sitting by the water.

Great place to unwind
Stayed in a waterfront room. Great place to stay. Gorgeous outlook, nice to sit, relax and unwind. Handy to everything. Helpful staff. Bed a bit too soft for me, but that's just personal preference. Would stay again.
