The Devon Hotel A Heritage Hotel
Everything was as I expected from previous experiences at this hotel. Only small downer was lack of cash advancing facility, either ATM or cash-out facility necessitating a walk into town to the nearest ATM machine.

Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park
Beautiful view of ocean and snowcapped mountains. One very strong recommendation would be to remove the big huge plant from right in front of our room. It blocked the view substantially.
