Positive: Excellent location- You can see it when you get off the ferry, it's right in the main bay, next door to Four Square supermarket and everything else you need in the small town (tours, shops, museum etc.). A short and beautiful walk up the hill and over to Bathing beach. Room had amazing view of the bay/ocean. Although shared bathrooms, they were clean and multiple showers (with space to change) and toilets (with disinfectant spray). Warm room. Basin in room is convenient. Beds were okay. Ear plugs provided- pub noise didn't bother us.
Negative: Staff not very friendly but did give us room key and we had dinner and breakfast there. Restaurant is super expensive (expected being pretty much the only one), don't expect a pub menu (e.g. paua and lemongrass wontons)- wouldn't rate the food or eat there in future given quality, service and price. Keep windows closed due to lots of sandflies/bugs and smoking area in front of pub.
