    Pros +

    • Surprised to find there wasn't any onsite staff but this key safe and drop box system worked fine
    • clean and tidy
    • Location was great & within walking distance of RSL. The room had an industrial look vibe, which was very welcoming & modern.

    Cons -

    • Hot water ran out at tea time, had to wait till after 9.30pm before we had enough hot water for a shower. I was told when booking there was parking for a 5 -6m boat but couldn't drive under low awning which wasn't mentioned at the time of booking, had to reverse boat into traffic to park at rear of motel.
    • The only thing was the bed was a bit uncomfortable.
    • Second floor balcony rail too low and could be dangerous to an suspecting guest

    Clean and modern, plenty of PowerPoints for devices.

    Not easy to wash up plates and cups.

    7RichardsonPosted on: 4-25-2025

    The room was clean, and all the basic requirements were available in my room.

    The traffic noise. I was in a room close to the main road and even with the windows shut from the road was evident throughout the night.

    9PetraPosted on: 4-22-2025

    The communication with staff was great, we arrived after check in and they were so helpful and went out of their way with tips on getting places.

    3KevinPosted on: 4-8-2025

    $180 !! Won't. stay here again and won't recommend it

    TV remote would not work.No instructions for air con. We eventually worked out that we needed to turn it OFF at wall. It then worked.Didnt see any staff. Office closed.the whole time.Very firm mattress. Flat cheap pillows.Poor value for money

    8PatriciaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Management very obliging and friendly

    Traffic noise in the daytime but it was quiet at night

    7MarcPosted on: 4-6-2025

    It suited our purpose.

    No spare toilet rolls in the bathroom. I had to go out and buy toilet paper to get us through, and the bin in the bathroom was not emptied. Terrible what was in it :-(

    The room was lovely and very clean and comfortable.

    8KyliePosted on: 3-25-2025

    Room was spacious location central and friendly staff

    Could do with more parking

    9SandraPosted on: 3-18-2025

    Large room, very clean, good hot water and pressure. Power points in covered parking area for portable fridge/freezer. Easy check-in. Pleasant staff.

    All good.

    Closeness to the waterfront.

    The design of the bathroom. The sliding shower doors should be reversed so water does come out onto the vanity - plus this would open the access pads the vanity. Also this design change would allow a larger vanity sink. Currently the glass shelf above the sink doesn’t allow easy access to the sink when cleaning your teeth.

    convenient location

    small bed, no shower, no staff on site

    10CherylPosted on: 2-27-2025

    It was exceptionally clean, location was fabulous for walking to the river and eating out.

    9OliverPosted on: 2-17-2025

    It was a wonderful place to stay, very convenient and close to the beach. Great value for money.

    The rooms were a little small, but I found them cosy rather than anything else.

    8RosalynPosted on: 2-12-2025

    Room was clean and good value. Close to river and easy to find.

    I like having someone at reception desk, but only spoke to someone via phone who told me how to get the key. AirBnb maybe, motel not really. I understand that maybe people have to do other things, but personal touch is why people keep returning.

    Didn’t know there was breakfast?

    The balcony railing I feel was not high enough. Would be easy to loose balance and fall over long drop.
