Location near the beach, shops and buses
The location was great. Over the road to golf club and short walk to shops and restaurants. Also free laundry to use was much appreciated.
The room was quite small and dark . We had downstairs room .
Lovely staff, very helpful. I loved the room it was spacious and a nice balcony. Nice and close to shops and beach.
The room was nice and clean lots of room...
You need to buy new outside tables when I moved the table it almost fell apart
Clean
Overhead noise all through the night- no noise proofing in walls or ceiling. Room very stuffy with no ventilation in the bathroom
Facilities were clean and tidy.
The master bed was not very comfortable, it was very firm and had a lump down the middle of the mattress
Beautiful room friendly hosts
Bed was very hard
Near the beach, tidy even if it is an old property.
Shower is old style but water pressure is strong! Did not like the shampoo on the wall quite hard to push for contents to come out same with the hand soap.
Wrights by the Sea Motel was a great stop. It’s a classic motel, but more comfortable and much cleaner than similar places. The room was well equipped, good parking. The owners were very helpful: they gave clear instructions and useful information for a late check-in, which made everything simple. Good value for money—recommended!
Nothing worth mentioning.
Pleasant
A bit over priced for what it wasShowers very old, stainless steel base with shower curtainFittings very oldNeeds a revamp
Really helpful and warm welcome, even though we arrived quite late. Extremely clean, comfortable and practical accommodation, including fridge in room. Less than 5 minute walk to beautiful beach. Fantastic for a short stay!
Location was good. Staff were friendly Unit was very clean. Bed was extremely comfortable.
Not soundproof as we could hear footsteps and talking from other units.Danger of slipping over in the bathroom with the shower water all over the floor. Couldn't get the body wash to work.
The management were lovely and very accomodating to our needs. The motel was clean equipted with excellent facilities quite and has a lovely private balcony. I would reccomend them to future customers.
Great location. Lovely verandah with morning sun.
Space was a bit crammed, especially in the kitchenette. Also, it would be nice if the bedroom had a curtain for privacy.
Easy check in process. Room was exactly what was described and what we needed for one night. Shower was fantastic!Close to eateries - recommend Burger for dinner and Two Fat Chefs for breakfast. Both really good for our family of four.
Parking was a little tight and the driveway in was very steep. If your car is low it would have really scraped.
Very very clean and gentleman at reception was really nice. I had trouble with the tv and he came within one minute to fix the problem.
Great central location by the beach & cafes
The bed was uncomfortable, bathroom was very dated - old shower in a bathtub, worn fittings & carpet.
