All the rooms front the beach, the view is screened by trees - this is good - screens out the sun's glare & the noise and gives privacy. 100m to the swimming flags, the spit being a quieter area than the main beaches, & perfect for our primary aged children. Boardwalk along the beach meant we didn't need a car - within a short walk were 5 playgrounds, and innumerable cafes, restaurants and shops, yet the kitchen was well appointed and suitable for cooking all meals in house. Penny at reception was so very kind and helpful, lent the children boards for the beach, and helpful with choosing other entertainments - but we had such fun at the beach, the children elected NOT to go to the zoo (!! true !!) which I think says it all. Highly recommended for families, or others seeking a quieter, relaxing beach retreat.
