If you like to stay in licensed premises, with the opportunity to meet people over a drink at the bar, you'll choose one of the four hotels. The Castaway offers tropical atmosphere within minutes of the shops. The South Pacific is also centrally located and has a pool and pitch-and-putt golf. The Hillcrest has a smaller pool, a tennis court and fine views. (Their outdoor cottages are more roomy than the hotel rooms.) The Colonial offers good value for money and a pleasant gazebo.
Those seeking a more private, luxurious and spacious retreat will choose one of Norfolk's de-luxe villas.
