Overall the stay was good — great location and beautiful views. However, the room was not clean enough. We found cut nails left on the table from the previous guest, which was quite unpleasant and disappointing. The kitchen/restaurant also had a lovely view, but the food was very average. One of the buffet pot lids kept making a very loud banging noise whenever guests closed it. The waitresses seemed to notice it but no one tried to fix the issue and just ignored it, which affected the dining experience. With better cleanliness and more attention to detail, this place could be much better.

Spacious 2 bedroom Chalet overlooking the beach. Good and clean bed. Shower head is a bit low and old.

Beautiful setting views over the Tasman are great. Quirky accommodation with strange access, but very enjoyable all the same. The staff were excellent

Oven missing a handle to open, dishwasher missing the nob to turn on, and clothes dryer heating element was broken and not functional.. poorly maintained appliances so not quite sure what is going on here at $350 a night.. (challet 7 for reference... so avoid!). Other than that, view, location and room was lovely for a couple of days. Worked well for our family.
