Great location, friendly and responsive staff. Cottage has a beautiful fire place which we utilised even with the nice weather. Kitchen didn’t have a few basics such as tea towels, cleaning sponges, or cutting knives. A small bar fridge with next to no freezer space was also challenging. Only a problem if you are planning on cooking most of your meals, which we did for our 2 night stay. But we made do. Otherwise brilliant property, very clean and right on the beach, met our expectations.

A nice hotel in beautiful surroundings and stunning views over Two Fold Bay. Easy check in and a pretty room...we had room 7 in the hotel....lovely but quite small. The room and bathroom was all nice and clean. Our evening meal was tasty, friendly enough staff and a nice glass of wine in the bar/lounge area. The continental breakfast is served in your room which we found a little odd as there is a lovely dining area in the hotel. We decided to eat it on the balcony as there was a table and chairs out there so we could enjoy the beautiful views though the balcony area could do with a bit of work and a good clean. Apart from that we had a good night at The Seahorse Inn and Villas.

The historic Seahorse Inn was a good stop on our road trip. We'd expected lodging and dining that was a bit more upscale for the price, but it was more than adequate and the location with an extensive beach is excellent. Note that upstairs room have no soundproofing, so you'll hear people in the restaurant and bar below at the back amd people in the lobby at the front until later in the evening.

This was our second stay at Seahorse Inn, and it was just as fabulous as the first. Honestly, we wished we had stayed here the whole weekend instead of heading further north where we were disappointed. Both times we’ve visited (a year apart), the food has been consistently tasty and great quality. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating, which makes such a difference to the overall experience. The hotel itself is excellent value, the rooms are lovely, and the beachfront location is absolutely beautiful - it honestly feels like you’re on a secluded island. The vibe on the beach was magical. We’ll definitely be back again.

Would definitely recommend and gladly stay again!

The propert conditions is ok, however we were given the wrong room, booked for Two King Bed but give us One King and Two Single. Went back to front desk to check, and they didn’t bother to check or at least apologize. Simply said that’s what shows in their system. Also it said to have Wi-fi included, but wi-fi was not provided, they used the excuse saying there’s no tower providing signal, then it shouldn’t have been advertised as with Wi-fi included, we wouldn’t have went with them had we known. And clearly there would have been internet access to the property, as the reception accesses internet for booking and basic operations.

Wir hatten als eine Villa mit 2 Schlafzimmer (etwas anderes war nicht mehr frei). Die Schlafzimmer sind etwas arg klein, auch die Betten könnten etwas breiter sein - ist aber alles kein wirkliches Problem. Die Lage ist herrlich ruhig und direkt vor dem Strand. Weitere Infrastruktur ist nur mit dem Auto erreichbar, also entweder fahren, selbst kochen oder das hoteleigene Restaurant nehmen. Das ist durchaus OK.

We stayed in an elevated, two-bedroom villa, which was very comfortable and nicely appointed. We all enjoyed a very relaxing night's sleep, and breakfast on the balcony with the sound of waves crashing was delightful. Parking was located beneath the cabin, accessible via outside stairs. There wasn't much of a view, except for the cabin in front, but the location was just a short stroll to the beach. Note that when on the beach, every so often, a wave would come in much further than the others, so be careful with young children and any belongings you place on the sand. We received a very warm welcome upon checking in. We only stayed one night, so we didn't try the on-site restaurant, choosing instead to eat in Eden. A must-do is the Eden Killer Whale museum - highly recommended.

A quiet and comfortable hotel in a brilliant location. The staff were friendly and helpful and effective in solving a problem with noise from the plumbing. The restaurant was excellent with an emphasis on seafood. If you are travelling around the east coast from Melbourne to the Sydney area then the Seahorse Inn is close to half way and a very good choice for somewhere to break the journey.

The location is beautiful and the view from the room was uninterrupted of the bay water. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only “disappointment” was the dinner dining. I was expecting something more elegant and special considering the cost of the rooms. We chose to eat outside- it was a gorgeous summer evening- and we had to order at the bar, get a buzzer and then go and pick up our food. If we had chosen to eat inside we would’ve still had to order at the bar but they would have brought the food to our table. The dining room inside didn’t have a great vibe or elegant feel to it that’s why we opted for outside.
