• Joanne (7/5): Affordable option to stay at Ōhope Beach - Easy access to beach. No blind over glass door - very bright mornings for the person sleeping in the lounge.
• Amy (2/5): Won't be returning. - Close to the beach. The bed had a broken leg. The staff knew about this. It was uneven even with the block of wood placed under it that kept moving. The unit also had a dodgy lock. Staff also knew about this. It was hard work and I had to get assistance each time to lock it, then it wouldn't lock at all and I had to put my valuables in the car. Unit was run down, acceptable for the cheap price but still not cosy or comfortable.

Der Chef empfahl und das nahe gelegene Restaurant Fisherman's Warf - vielen Dank für diesen tollen Tipp. Die Küche ist sehr dürftig ausgestattet, sogar Esslöffel fehlten. Dafür mit den besten und schärfsten Messer auf unserer Reise.

• Silvia (8/5): -
• Karen (3/5): - Location was ok Toilet systern had a hole in it and it didn't flush very well. The shower drain would bloce and was very slippery when getting in the next day due to soap drying on the shower base. The towel rail had been ripped/taken off the wall leaving an unsightly mess, the palmat for the bathroom sliding door was missing, the cutlery and crockery was not as clean as it should have been, the room had a very strong garlic smell. The king studio room next to the office should not be let out in it's current state.
