"The room was super cute and the amenities in our studio were better than I expected. The onsite laundry was a big plus. The location is great - a couple blocks to the beach, not far from the Cathedral Cove track, and a ten minute drive to Hot Water Beach. Thereโ€™s also a store and cafe next door. Highly recommended."
