the hotel is located right by the estuary with the water lapping at the veranda during high tide. rooms do not directly face the estuary, so be sure to request a room with a water view. the views were lovely!

clean roomkitchen closing
The room was clean. (That's always a plus!)
I tried to order food, but the kitchen staff said the chef had already switched off the fryer. Apparently, it was too late in the evening for chunky chips (it was only 7:55 pm).
