We didnt have a kitchen
The location was great, accommodations were comfortable. There was a deck to sit on and enjoy our coffee or wine with a beautiful view. Was a great stay.
Screens on the windows/doors.
Place was spotless, had everything you could need, amazing views, great beds, favorite place we stayed at in a month of traveling!
Without being asked they upgraded us to a bigger suite with a wonderful ocean view. The staff/owners were all very friendly, and spent time with us discussing local attractions. The room was very clean.The property is close to the beach and the peninsula walking tracks, though it's almost a 2-mile trek to the town center.
Wi-fi was a little sporadic.
Friendly, warm welcome. Awesome greeting and service. The room was perfect. Breautifuly decorated, clean and had everything we needed. We will be back.
clean and tidy easy to find
the unit we were in didnt have a sea view which was disapointing
The location, how clean it was, how close it was to the beach, they had a swing that the kids enjoyed, the host emptied our bins daily and are very much approachable
The water pressure, and the bugs, make sure windows are closed before you go to sleep
Loved the location , the kitchen had everything we needed, it was clean and tidy and quiet.
Nothing really
Location to Pier Hotel and beachfront was excellent. Make sure you book Pier Hotel for meals!! Various walking tracks not too far either. Little balcony with table and chairs with view to the water. Very comfortable bed and very clean. Owners exceptionally helpful, particularly with advice and use of their own facilities for cooking crayfish and freezing fresh caught fish. Kitchenette has sink, microwave and small fridge but there is also BBQ facilities for cooking outside in a covered area with picnic table on front lawn.
Location is few kms from shops and fishing charters on South Bay (other side of peninsula). This is 100% fine if you have own transport.
There were two hot chocolate sacheys in with the usual tea/coffee selection. We had 3 kids with us - and on the second day I realised they had restocked it with 3 hot chocolate sachets. Could be accident, could have been deliberate. I'll go with deliberate.
Nice and clean and modern. Great location
The motel is well located, with Tony, the owner, very welcoming and helpful. Good views of the bay from our balcony, from which we enjoyed watching a pod of dolphins.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. It was spacious, light and clean. Bed was firm. Host suggested some places to eat during our stay. Would definitely stay there again!!
Not applicable.
Timing and reception
No view at all - very small unit at the back
Clean tidy,very quiet stay . Recommend for travelling for work.
Furnishings and bed were comfortabl, and the rooms were spacious and quiet. Everything we needed was there. We would be happy to stay there again....oh, and there were lots of power points.!!
There was nothing we didn't like. Bin
The property location is away from the town centre so it is very quiet. It is well situated for walking to Fyffe House, the seal colony, the Pier Hotel or into town
No negatives
Got an up graded room with a great view We could see the dolphins playing out in the bay from our room awesome we will definitely come again ?
A good value motel, in a quiet location.
Quiet location, clean, friendly owners.
