Unbeatable location - very good value for money!

Brilliant location, comfy beds. It was a great price for beachside accomodation in a gorgeous area of Adelaide, so its not perfect of course. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Excellent value, great location and very helpful staff. Sure, the place is ageing and that shows, but it’s clean and adequate. For the price I thought it was excellent and I’d happily stay again.

Room was clean except there was a decent amount of dust build up on the P trap under the sink. Room was a little out dated but no issues with that especially to the cheap price. shower pressure was nice. Beds were very comfortable. lots of cafes and a BWS close by. Would definitely stay again.
