Great location quiet area walk to the beach and shops .
Boathouse Resort was great. Friendly reception staff. Very comfortable, spacious room with a fantastic spa bath. Kitchen area was a bit small - not much space to do anything once the kettle, coffee maker and toaster were all out, but it’s manageable. Only real negative point was the WiFi - not great.
We loved our stay! The staff were so friendly, the room was spotless and the bed very comfortable and we loved having the spa bath. Everything you need is a walk away- great places to eat, IGA and the beach! It was so quiet and if it was warmer we loved that there is an option to swim in the outdoor pool which looked very clean. You could cook your own meals and having both tea and coffee available was such a great touch as we both love having a hot drink multiple times a day. The team also went to extra effort to remember it was my husband’s birthday and even had a delicious complimentary bottle ready in our room, we would love to return one day!
If you're looking for somewhere private, a stone's throw to the beach and the most hospitable staff in the area, look no further. Highly recommend the cocktails at Panda to compliment a sunny afternoon on the lawn and the local pizza, Pizza Do'h.
Loved everything! The lady at the reception was super friendly. She gave us some useful local information like a coastal walk, etc. The room was very clean, spacious and it has got everything we needed. We definitely want to go back!
Everything about this property was great, but the highlight was Leah!
What an asset she is….super friendly, really helpful and great knowledge of things to do in the area!
If I am back down this way, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else
