What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 409 guest reviews
The Martine Inn earns consistently strong sentiment for its breathtaking ocean views, made-to-order breakfasts, and warm, attentive staff who make guests feel genuinely welcomed. The Victorian antique charm is a standout draw, though guests should be aware of practical limitations including thin walls, drafty rooms with no climate control, and occasional maintenance niggles such as unreliable Wi-Fi and low water pressure. It is best suited to those who prioritise atmosphere and location over modern hotel conveniences.
