Summary: It was a good place to stay

Summary: The room was raised so we could see the river. A sweet, compact room was just what we needed as a base of operations for our weekend away. We ended up napping and relaxing outside Saturday afternoon, French doors open, enjoying the breeze, the sounds of birds, and even a train passing by. A good spot.

Summary: Very small studio, which was fine, however no toaster for slice of toast and coffee in the morning. TV didnโ€™t work in media room. Maybe control needed new batteries. Said there was a pool??? We bumped into a couple of friends on the wharf, but due to Studio restrictions we could not have them over for a drink. Beautiful outdoor setting, but no bbq to cook with, even if we were allowed. Overall beautiful and clean, perfect location, but probably wouldnโ€™t go back. Too many restrictions ๐Ÿ™

Summary: Had a wonderful 2 night stay in this cute little studio. Room was a little smaller than we were expecting, but the view made up for it. Loved the media room too, perfect spot for a movie night in. Will definitely be back :-)

Summary: Advertised as a studio, but it is a small bedroom with a nice ensuite. Missing the basics-, toaster, microwave, cereal bowls,cutlery , wi fi The small open verandah was exposed to cold and rain, shame that it has not been glassed in as the view was great.

Summary: Very chic studio. There is another adjoining which would be excellent if two couples were traveling together as you could meet on the shared balcony. Or even a third larger group in the cottage below the studios. Would be excellent for three groups to stay together while maintaining individual private accommodation.
