Venue Testimonials
I stayed here for my wedding night and the staff really went out of their way to make us feel special. Beautiful rooms, incredible views, good food and a convenient location. It's very pricey, but worth it for special occasions. Thank you to all the staff for making our wedding night that little bit more special!

Absolutely amazing hotel. We had the best stay and were looked after from start to finish by friendly and professional staff who were eager to help with anything at all. We had a corner room overlooking the harbour and it was incredible.
