"I loved the location and staff. The rooms were small but well stocked and comfortable. The second room we rented only had a sink -the toilet and shower facilities were in the hallway but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue unless you awake several times a night. A hidden surprise that we found out about by mistake…there is a walking path just outside the hotel entrance “behind the restaurant” (take a left) that leads to a beautiful trail and meanders to the road near the bay."

"Fantastic location for the bay. Leave your car in the carpark and get the bus into town. The bay has a good selection of bars and restaurants."

"We had a fantastic stay at Novotel for our son’s birthday. We stayed in an executive room which was comfortable, well-supplied, and featured really good beds. The bathroom was great, and the pool was a highlight for our family! Breakfast was very tasty, and the staff's communication throughout our stay was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!"
