WHY WE LIKE IT

Only a few minutes from the restaurants, cafés and bars of Cullen bay, we loved being close to so many markets selling locally produced crafts and food, aboriginal art galleries and restaurants serving the best in local cuisine. Having said that, with a bar, restaurant, outdoor swimming pool and spa on site, you may not want to leave the hotel at all.
