Regina

This is a lovely boutique hotel. The location was convenient to restaurants and a short drive away from the penguin encounters. The continental breakfast was good. The guest room was comfortable. The shower area had no glass enclosure or floor mats. The stone bathroom floor was quite wet after showering. This poses a safety hazard which was mentioned to the owners.

Great place!
Fabulous old building that’s now quirky and fun, in a steampunk kind of way. Just be warned, the lounge closes at 8pm and there's a bit of road noise, but otherwise highly recommended.
