Greag alternative to a motel

A small house but was clean and had everything we needed. Was close to the beach and Port Hughes Hotel. We cooked most of our meals at the house. The kitchen was very small but we managed. It was better than a motel room. Check in process was easy.

A simple 1960s bungalow.

Has all you needs. Beds comfortable. Clean and tidy. Not much outside but lots of chairs and tables under roof. We sat out under the verandah with a lovely breeze every afternoon into the evening.Quiet, no traffic noises. Relaxing

Fishing shack

Beds are comfortable. Shower is good. Outside is in need desperate need of cleaning up. It’s just a fishing shack but is well equipped. Nothing special at all but did the trick. In need of handle on the door it’s difficult to open. We left it cleaner. You get what you pay for.
