    Ton & Larissa were excellent hosts. Ton runs the lodging and Larissa is the suberb chef. Food and lodging were all excellent. Views are spectacular. Stay was 3 days. Didn't want to leave...

    No wifi - the ad does state no internet access, which I had missed. I had however noted that they advertise a streaming service (like Netflix), but alas due to no wifi that was not possible. Cellphone reception was patchy, so it was an 'off grid' weekend.

    Lovely meal on offer in the evening, AMAZING view, lovely hosts

    Nothing! The fact that we had to leave.

    The hosts were outstanding and the view and location were stunning. They even cooked our supermarket pizza for us and set up a romantic candle lit table in the cafe. The accommodation was very elegant. Couldn't fault anything.

    Dinner was good value but breakfast was quite expensive in comparison for what you got and there were no facilities to do your own breakfast even though it is advertised as a Motel

    Great spot to stay before walking the Humpridge Track.

    Very friendly and welcoming owners in a fantastic location. Wonderful dinner and views over the ocean with tranquil surroundings. Owners made us feel very special when we mentioned our wedding the previous day, and also offered us transport to the Humpridge track (which had nothing to do with the former, but seems they go above and beyond for guests in general). Would definitely stay again if we come back to the region, and we wish them both all the best!

    Amazing location, Great Hosts Definitely worth a walk across a few paddocks and down to the beach. Topped off by an excellent dinner in the restaurant, great view and good way to meet other guests. Well worth it! We were doing the Hump ridge track, Able to use fridge and freezer in the Lodge. Great Hosts
