    • Comfortable bed and sofa, well stocked kitchen with good cooktop & microwave.Lovely big walk in shower.Ceiling fans for our hot evenings & heat pump.Very short walk to the beach for lovely evening walk when the temperature dropped below 30 deg C.Close to city shops etc.

    Great location, literally across the road from the beach. Clean, spacious rooms, good car parking. Great host.

    I was able to have a shower

    The motel didn't see my reservation until the next day, and I was unable to contact them to advise I was not able to make make the check in time.

    My room with ensuite was spacious and immaculately clean. Both nights were very peaceful, with the other guests quiet and respectful. Not necessarily close to town, but almost right on the beach.

    Nothing springs to mind.

    Priya is not here to comment but she raved about your motel. When asked how is the accommodation she said " it is so good, location is perfect, and the room is clean".

    Near the sea

    The unit was badly designed with huge bathroom and v small living/sleeping areas. Very basic for the price charged.

    We had messed up our previous night booking somewhere else so this was a last minute stay and the motel staff lady was fantastic. She let us check in early, it was super easy and fab location. Clean comfy and perfect for our needs!

    Passable

    Poor internet connection. Tired decor. Advertised as apartment with a garden view. The garden view was of a tree stump and a lawn in need of mowing.In need of some TLC

    Comfortable bed, brilliant bathroom and very clean. I liked the fact it had great cooking facilities and an outdoor eating, relaxing area. Close to town and across the road from the beach. easy to get too and no noise.

    Wifi could have been better, it dropped out alot however I have my own wifi so it didn't really bother me. I should have let htem know but just never got around to it lol.

    Bathrooms have been updated and were clean

    Motel was rated four and a half stars on the Booking, com website, we rate at as 3 starsJug, cutlery and crockery were contained in old op shop wooden units that had seen better days.There was no microwave in the units.The jug had to be filled in the bathroom and then plugged in at the bedside cabinet!We booked for a unit with double beds, had to sleep in king singles first night and then given another unit with double bed on the second night (after we complained)
