    • There was no heater in the bedroom. Lots of traffic noise. Did not sleep well.
    • In hindsight we picked a bad location. Constant road noise. Trucks & trains at night disturbed sleep. Bed was average, not really good
    • We had to walk upstairs with our suitcases.

    The room was large. It had a little kitchenette.

    We had to walk upstairs with our suitcases.

    Very clean (spotless), spacious, great location, easy to get comfortable, modern and quite high spec.

    Just off State Highway 1, so busy road noise during the day, thats all I can think of as a negative.

    8MartinPosted on: 2-9-2026

    We had the big room with lots of space and balcony. Was really good for a one night stay

    nice apartment with great amenities

    A little noise with trucks passing but stopped during the night so was ok

    Easy to find. Comfortable rooms

    They should advertise the breakfast on booking .com .It stated no breakfast available at the property. We went to get breakfast in the morning but there were no staff on the premises. There were no staff on the premises when we arrived the previous day. I rang to organise breakfast for our group of 8 and was told you need to book it through a staff member. A little difficult when there was no staff member on duty throughout our stay.

    A very spacious, well appointed room. The motel is an easy walk to beach & restaurants. Super sound proofing from busy road.

    8AndrewPosted on: 1-28-2026

    We stopped here for a night, passing through and it was 'absolutely fine', not 'special' but certainly not 'poor'. The room was a good size and had what was needed.

    A little more attention to detail - there was no shampoo in the dispenser (didn't notice until 8pm so certainly not something to call someone out for). I also have to question the cleanliness of cutlery and crockery when an establishment tells guests to wash up and put things back as they were ... not everything was clean.

    Clean, spacious and comfortable

    10RubyPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Was such a comfortable clean cost place to stop overnight.. we really felt comfortable Girl in office was a sweetie

    10MichelePosted on: 1-22-2026

    Lovely and clean very comfortable

    Easy parking staff friendly and close to shops

    8JennyPosted on: 1-20-2026

    Only a short walk to the town centre and park. The room was a good size and had a balcony (which unfortunately we couldn't use due to the weather). Free parking on site was also a welcome addition.

    The rooms could do with a bit of a spruce up but they're clean and comfortable so not really an issue.

    8McmoniglePosted on: 1-20-2026

    Its location was good

    Um the couch had a very weird stain on it, so we covered it with a blanket other than that good

    8KayceePosted on: 1-14-2026

    The room itself was great size and loved how it had what you needed. Close to everything

    The noise from people going up and down stairs some nights can be loud.

    8AlastairPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Lovely bed and really clean.

    Noisy

    9PatricePosted on: 1-9-2026

    Very clean, spacious, with everything you need to spend one or two nights.Easy check-in and checkout Breakfast for only 5$ pp.

    The o my downsize is the proximity with the road. It gets very noisy early in the morning. So, unlike me, go to bed early and that will be fine.

    10AngelaPosted on: 1-8-2026

    Everything exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. We had a well equipped kitchen and a spa bath. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.
