Extremely clean and well equipped. Perfect location, friendly staff
Friendly reception, very tidy and clean room, great pool.
The wifi was very poor.
The receptionist was very friendly and lovely. The room was very clean. Pool was nice and the motel is in a good location.
Good comfortable motel with a well equipped kitchenette. Quiet location near the water and a nearby supermarket.
Even though very close to the water, no water views! The room was great with lovely, private little balcony.
The location was perfect, quiet and close to the river and actually not too far away from hawks nest shops if you needed anything
Great location, so clean, the freshest sheetsLovely staff
It was very peaceful and relaxing setting, the motel has aged but was very clean and welcoming.
It would be great if they were able to offer a cooked breakfast.
Spacious rooms with a good kitchenette and spacious bathroom. Excellent location and nice and quiet. Friendly manager
Good location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable.
Having to go upstairs, but that can’t be helped.
ease of finding and parking. Away from noise.
some outside areas needed care
I liked the location, the beds very comfortable and the apartment was very clean. Loved the pool and outdoor area.
Comfortable, good size room that immediately gave the sense one was really on holiday. The kitchen facilities were excellent, with plenty of crockery and a range of utensils to easily prepare a snack, meal or cup of tea, and to wash up afterwards. Freezer in the fridge worked, which is not always the case.The bed was firm and very comfortable, and the quiet location of the motel, as well as brick walls between the rooms ensured uninterrupted sleep. The continuation of the brick wall onto the deck kept the deck private while sitting outside. Often motel bathrooms are small, with a toilet and sink jammed into the space and somehow water from the shower spreads all over the floor. Not here. The bathroom was big with plenty of room to move about, and thoughtful provision of places to put your things. The water from the shower stayed in the shower recess. Additionally, the hot water came through quickly and the temperature stayed even throughout the shower. The pool is large enough to accommodate people without getting in each other’s way and the large paved area around the pool is spacious and considered, with ample comfortable furniture.Staff were helpful and friendly and we will definitely be back.
Location and very comfortable
While this is understandable for the room being smoking free, but it was disappointing for the balcony
Genuine warm welcome by a real person!! Room was spacious exceptionally clean and it had all you would expect. The bonus was the verandah to sit and contemplate nature birds and enjoy the delightful pool morning and night!!
There was nothing to dislike.
3rd time I stay there and will keep going. Well maintained, perfect location and view. Easy booking and check-in. 10/10 cleaning services. Very comfortable rooms, bed, pillows, air conditioning and shower. Internal and safe parking and amazing swimming pool. Walking distance to the river with an amazing sunset view and to IGA and cafe. I highly recommend it!
Great location, Nice pool & staff.
Beds uncomfortable.
Absolutely loved our stay here! Our room was recently renovated and was fantastic. And yes, the pool looks exactly as pictured, extremely inviting and a step beyond any other motel pool we’ve seen. The biggest plus here is the staff. In particular, Michelle. She made us feel so welcome after such a long day of driving, noting down on a map of the town all the food, beach and coffee options so we could maximise our short stay. Exceptional service! We were sad to leave after such a short time here but we’re glad that we now have a new ‘go-to’ for our road trips up North.
Absolutely nothing.
The location was very good, close to beaches. The staff were very helpful and gave us good recommendations for good places to eat.
