Penguins View Guesthouse
The place is a vacation paradise. If you've come for the views or the penguins, you wont be disappointed. Heather, in particular, went above and beyond her duties even after I had checked out!! Would highly recommend.

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK
Very impressed with all aspects of the hotel. The staff were amazing and friendly. The cafe and the Yu downstairs were a great amenity to have. Suggestion to put electrical adaptors on at least 4 the outlets throughout the rooms. We had international adaptors but we still needed the main one.
