Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

The private and quietness in the area was a big plus during our stay. The view from the main deck was great and relaxing. Cleanliness on the main deck was on a very high standard which made out stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Plus: Love the maritime theme around the house and the story of how all started for Ralph and Sally. 😊

    We had a night of luxury after 2 months sleeping in a little camper van, so glad we chose Sails. Modern and spacious. Very well located and quiet. The bed was like a cloud, large TV with access to Netflix, fast WiFi. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you need, milk was left in the fridge for us and we had use of the laundry if needed. The owner is lovely and gave us lots of great recommendations. Really loved our stay here, so wish we could have stayed longer!

    The location was great for us as we needed to be near the skating rink, lots of options within walking distance, takeaways, cafes, bars, activities for the kids, beach etc. The room was clean and comfortable, staff were lovely and very helpful. We did have ants move in on our second day but the receptionist very kindly, quickly and easily moved us to another room :) There is a well-stocked kitchen if needed for self-catering, and coffee, a selection of teas, hot choc, milk, biccies, shampoo etc supplied.
