Location: The hotel boasts a stunning ocean view, set in a beautiful, quiet location with easy access to town. It's a perfect spot for relaxation and stargazing, and only a short drive to Victor Harbor.(based on 3 reviews)

- nice interior design that puts it on the pedestal in the same league;
- squeaky clean and spick and span;
- very comfortable beds that you are mollycoddled, from the very first moment you hit the sack till getting up;
- quiet and reclusive, but easily accessible to the town;
- Flexible check out(upon request)
- Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful

Apartment is great and spacious!! It's a little further away from the shops but just a short drive away.
Balcony is super great for stargazing late at night!!

Everything is good. A bit confused with the location of our room due to heavy rain on the arrival but that’s not the hotel’s fault.

When I called and requested late check-in instructions, the staff told me she had already talked to someone about this, and it did not seem like she wanted to repeat the information to me. This is very strange because I am a solo traveler and I would be the only person calling. After a few minutes explaining to her about my situation, she asked for my email. Then my phone was disconnected (poor signal). I called back, and the same person asked if she could talk to someone else who could understand her. I told her I was the only one calling and I could understand her perfectly. Eventually, I was able to give her my email so she could send the check-in instructions.
Also, the wifi password was not posted in the room. So I have no internet connection.
This is not a good experience and I will be reluctant to stay there again.
