Exceptional location. Loved sleeping to the sound of the waves. Very comfortable beds and spacious room. Staff were friendly and attentive. Meal was high quality. I thought the drinks were expensive and over 300 % mark up on the wine was excessive

Overall a very nice stay. The taps in the kitchen and bathroom were very loose and the sliding door leaked during the night. But then again it is on the west coast! Restaurant was on the pricey side of things.
