The Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent
"Bright, friendly and modern ( with an historical twist) this venue was a lovely stay. From the moment we checked in we were welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely views of the Bay and easy access to the beach, walks, gardens, restaurants, bars and the CBD. Only recently opened (March 2026) but has a bright future."
