Lovely little cabin . Little porch with table and chairs to enjoy a beverage while listening to the Tasman Sea. Great restaurant recommendations and easy checkin and out.

One night in the lodge
Our lodge was close to the motorway and you could heart the traffic noise day and night. location is nice to close the beach, but the distance to main street is bit far by foot.

nice location with some cute animals in front and the glowing worms right behind the hotel. Our room was also nice, just a bit small (we were not able to open our suitcases). Would recommend the place for a one night stopover.
