6 Union St; d/f from $105/145; )
Hanging bas-
kets ahoy! This modest place is an affordable bonanza with pool and spa, and small kit-
chenettes in all units. Rooms are functional, and the new owners (from Yorkshire) keep
the swimming-pool area in good nick. It's away from traffic noise, but still an easy walk
into town.

130/160; )
A friendly, family B&B run by the well-humoured Sandi who offers local
advice with a ready smile. It's on a busy road a couple of kilometres north of town, so the
best bets are the two bohemian chalets out the back with TV and plenty of room to move.

The friendly
Vic has seen a lot of competitors come and go, maintaining its foothold in the market with
individual-feeling apartments and studios with thermally heated plunge pools. Fully
equipped, freshly painted apartments can squeeze in seven, though four would be com-
fortable.
