Sanctuary Inn on Westernport
Sanctuary Inn was clean, comfortable, spacious and peaceful. The beds were sensational. It could certainly do with more trees or other shade for cars (but so could the whole country!) but otherwise excellent.

Peninsula Beachside Accommodation
Not what I was expecting. Overall 3.5 stars really. Rooms 4, but park 2. I say park as it was like an industrial carvan park, with better prefabricated units.
