The room had everything we needed. Mini fridge, clean bedding, nice reading table with chairs, some delicious cookies, tea, coffee, etc. We stayed as a family (2 adults, 1 kid) and the place and service were beyond our expectation. Very clean facility, decent and friendly people, many thanks to lovely family business runners, Sue and John. The place is in a stone throw distance to the beach. You simply step out and find yourself at the beach. No traffic, no noise. We don't have a car, but I have seen people wlth cars so parking shouldn't be a hassle. We strongly recommend this place.
