What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The location of the hotel is fantastic. Right along the shoreline and the room with ocean view gives you maginificent views of the shoreline. Overall the staff is amazing and very friendly, barring a couple of individuals, who in general grumpy. We were lucky enough to enjoy amazing music nights with a band from Newzealand. The bar had some good cocktails/mocktails to enjoy the evening, and the food and beers are modestly priced. The breakfast deal actually works out better if you want to have a good heavy breakfast. We found good vego options and the breakfast menu was actually less expensive as compared to some of the breakfast places outside. Helps if you want a controlled budget for the trip. The rooms were nice and clean and the beds were really comfy as well. All in all a worthwhile stay over the easter long weekend”
“Stayed in the ocean view balcony suite on level six last weekend and it was absolutely beautiful! Great views and great location. Food was great in the hotel with lots of options for all. My only small bit of feedback would be to have thinner pillows!”
“Best place in Lincoln for a cuppa and a catch up with friends. They have a $10 coffee and cake deal and a great range of yummy cakes. It is also dog friendly in the outside area with great views of the ocean as they are located literally across the road from the beach.”
“Had lunch at Sharky's bar. $20 special. Not sure where to start, the staff were charming awesome view of the harbor. I had the burger, perfectly seasoned even down to the tomato. It was easy to eat, not over stuffed. I was so impressed they had a local Port Lincoln brewery, Jump Ship, on tap. Great to support your local community. The toilets were clean and well tendered. The sign of a good caring business, especially food. HOWEVER.... Please lash out and buy a Dyson hand drying. The one in the men's is pathetic, I could blow harder on my hands.”
“Stay here. Great experience from go to whoa. Check in check out staff Julie and Lauren were great and very understanding re first night having to be cancelled due to airline flight cancellation. Large sea view room excellent. Brilliant vibe downstairs with live music and local crowd having a really great fun time. While in Lincoln don’t miss French cafe L’Anse.”
