My stay at Pine Lodge was a mixed bag. The location is stunning with beautiful sea views, but the noise from neighboring campers ruined my experience. The cabins were comfortable and spacious, making it hard to ignore the disruption. I had high hopes for a peaceful getaway, but unfortunately, the noise issues left me disappointed.

Rooms

7.0

The cabins were spacious and comfortable, but they definitely felt a little dated. It would have been great to have a fridge for the hot days.

Service

I found the service lacking, especially in addressing the noise complaints. It felt like there wasn't anyone in authority to talk to about the issues I faced.

Location

The scenic views and proximity to the beach were fantastic, and it felt like a retreat from the city. However, it’s unfortunate that noise pollution from other guests impacted my stay.

I didn't have a great dining experience, as the breakfast service was underwhelming and not ready on time.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, but there wasn't a lot of attention paid to maintaining a peaceful environment, which is crucial for a camping experience.

I had a decent stay overall, with some great moments but also noticeable areas for improvement. The rooms were cozy, although lacking a bit in cleanliness and freshness. Unfortunately, the dining experience was a disappointment, particularly regarding the function arrangements. Still, the cozy moments with my partner on the deck made the trip worthwhile.

The room was nice and cozy, but it could've been cleaner and fresher. We were also short on glassware.

Service was hit or miss. While some staff were helpful, there were definitely issues with the function bookings where we felt neglected.

Location

The hotel was in a nice area, but being far from the beach was a letdown. It would have been better positioned higher up for a view.

The dining experience was less than ideal, particularly for our function where the setup was lacking and not well-managed.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location was beautiful with stunning views of the bush next to the ocean, and the cottage offered plenty of space and was clean. On the downside, the maintenance could use some work – the air conditioning filters were dirty, and there were issues with noise at night. Overall, it felt like it had great potential but was held back by its need for upkeep.

Rooms

The cottage was spacious and clean, but the musty smell and outdated decor made it less enjoyable.
