Property is very old and dated but clean. Family room would benefit from the addition of electric frying pan/benchtop cooker and a larger fridge. Proximity to staff entry for restaurant made our room quite noisy late at night. Location was great. Right across from lagoon and beach & The Strand restaurants within an easy walk. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
