This is a parents hide-out although families enjoy it also - Great location, only metres from the sand and beach - Ideal place for a romantic dinner or lunch (they serve breakfast too) and also a place for an evening glass of wine to watch / hear the surf - It's another location I might end up at for a coffee in the morning and wine at night after walking along the beach. This is also a great place for a wedding reception and they do get many bookings throughout the year.
