Very close to main shopping area. Easy parking. The building is old, looks like 70s decor in the room. Big room, great space. There's a seating area outside the room, very nice setup. But there was a very strong smell in my room, like wet carpet. Had to have the fan on constantly and open doors and windows when possible but it didn't go away.

Pros: Pretty setting with a nice nature walk nearby. Room quite well put together. Easy check-in, clear instructions
Small con: Cleanliness a bit hit and miss - marks on bedding, dishes greasy / needed rewashing
Big con: Smell. Overpowering chemical / perfume smell. Didn't go away all night with windows wide open. Closed up bags and move extra things into car as wife feared smell was going to get into our belongings.

Spacious, very clean and great accommodation

The Manageress was very friendly, considerate and helpful.
We arrived late and this was no problem. We also returned to the room in the late morning to change which was also no problem.

We found the rooms extremely clean and well equipped.
Lovely shower in the morning!
The queen bed was comfortable and we slept well.
We also had a great automatic coffee machine which made good coffee and hot chocolate, with mlik in the fridge to heat in the microwave.

If I go to Pambula again, I will definitely stay here again.

The cleanest motel I’ve stayed in

This place is immaculately clean! We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed excellent facilities. The staff are very friendly and decor is quite retro but still charming. Great location to shops and a short drive to the beach. One small complaint was the beds, every time my other half rolled over in the night the whole bed shook, the bases were not very firm! Was great to have kitchenette facilities, hairdryer, on site laundry and indoor pool.
