Lovely area close to the beach and walking distance to the main street. Room and other areas were clean and beautifully presented. Katinka, our host, was friendly and explained the current history of the place (as we had stayed there on previous occassions). It was nice to see the extra effort with the Easterdecoration and chocolate eggs throughout.

Very quiet place. The old buildings in the main street made it like a little english fishing village. Dined both nights at the restaurant connected to the hotel. Food was excellent. We also went and did an Aurthur River Cruise for five hours.
