Pros +
- Location is excellent with the shops, takeaways and pub across the road.
- The living/kitchen space was large and configured well. There is room for a small dining table as well as a couch for watching TV. It's nice that the bedroom is separate from the living space. There is also a small table and two chairs in front of the unit which were nice for eating outside.

Cons -
- The unit (Unit 1) had a large jet tub, but the jets don't work. There is no shower glass shield or curtain. So to take a shower you have to climb into this giant tub and then manipulate your body under the low shower head while trying not to have the water deflect off your body and onto the floor. The other big negative was the wifi internet service was incredibly slow. I eventually gave up and used my phone's cellular service as a hotspot for my other devices.
- Tea bag selectionSoap In the showerSmall bottle of milk would be handy
- As in alot of motels, there was nowhere to put your case, so we put ours on the 2 bed..which was fine, cause no-one was sleeping there..

Clean, quiet and spacious one bedroom unit. Comfortable bed, slightly firm. Easy access to shops and restaurants.
It was spacious and very well equipped..very clean…great shower, comfortable bed, although some would say it was quite hard, but we found it comfortable…

Ground floor unit was excellent, thank you to the manager for for providing us with a single bed and not a sofa bed for our third guestWalk across the street for coffee and a selection of dining options
Nice crisp sheets, spacious rooms and big bathroom. Great pool too! Loved having note on window to advise us of room number as we arrived late.
We liked everything
Great pool, great sized rooms. We were 2 adults and 3 kids and the 2 bedroom apartment was perfect. Everything you need is across the street at the shops. The motel is in the centre of all the lovely beaches in the area.
Location, access, parking
all was well
Lovely staff, great facilities, easy walk to the beach. Near to local facilities like shops. And a pool!
On the road but it was quiet overnight. Shouldn't put you off
The room was spacious and well kept. Nice and clean and comfortable. And just across the road from the shops.
Great pool! Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms with friendly staff.
Good sized unit for us, quiet motel, clean and well equipped, very convenient location near to supermarket and takeaways.
On the beds, the main bed was very comfortable but the sofa bed was a lot less so.
Close proximity to shops
Our toilet barely flushed properly, quite pricey for what you get
Was very clean and tidy, also towels and toiletries and tea, coffee replaced every day
Our room could do with a little TLC
Nice welcoming. Lovely clean accommodation with everything we needed. Comfy beds. Great to have the use of the pool.
Great location, walkable to the beach. The jacuzzi in the room was very nice, plenty of hot water. The room was very spacious. We really enjoyed our stay!
Rooms are always clean and tidy with good showers and comfy beds. Pool is a nice dip to relax in and tepid warmth which is nice all year round. When ever I stay here i sleep very well as i feel comfortable here. Really close to Store/4 Square across the road and take out places. Will stay here again soon
I liked everything! Easy parking and accessible rooms which were serviced every day. The overall sensation of the rooms was fresh and clean The motel is opposite the shopping centre and a short stroll to the beach..
2 little things I did miss though were an ice tray in the freezer and body lotion satchets/pots
Very clean and felt very safe. Lovely lady at reception made us feel at ease immediately with her warm, down to earth welcome
Hard to find a fault. At a push, the dining table
