This is probably the worst Motel which I have stayed at. The room was clean, but very unkept and old. The pool was mossy on the edges and very uninviting. The only thing going for it was the bed was comfy.

We enjoyed the quiet, clean room. The staff were extra helpful and the location is excellent, on one side it’s a short walk to the esplanade, on the other side a scenic short stroll to The Wharf.

Would not recommend

Checked in late. Had to use back Entrance. Which Had no signage. Next to a loud busy hostel. Had a tv in the room with no channels. It’s almost like they forgot to pay the paid tv. And it didn’t even have your standard channels. Not worth $120 for the night. Would not recommend

Woke up to loud industrial noise at 7am. Fixing something in the adjoining wall, called management and was told ' sorry theyll be done soon'. Come back at 11am and theyre still going. Very cold rooms, insufficient blankets. Shower curtain is a joke. Water goes all over the floor and is a health and safety issue no bath mat. Walls are paper thin so you know exactly what your neighbours are up to if you get what i mean. Definitely wont be staying and wont be recommending this to anyone ever wish the refund policy was different, Definitely wouldve preferred to stay else where for our second night.

Unhappy

Everything is run down, very minimal in every aspect. Noisy location, terrible access from the road, gate shut at 8pm each night. We needed to phone reception mid afternoon Sunday to get checked in & our details were written on a scrap of paper, excess noise from neighbours partying both nights, rooms have no soundproofing, we were woken many times during the night by the man next door snoring. Curtain rail falling off wall, accumulation of pest droppings in window. No water pressure in the shower, old worn blankets, no cutlery with tea & coffee.

Bed was particularly uncomfortable, and had rowdy guests screaming and threatening one another all through the night until 7 am with no action from the motel and due to the behaviour outside the room unable to even try and get to reception to see if management could be contacted.

It was close to where we needed to be for this visit and only about 10 minutes from our daughters house. We liked that, for older people, it wasn't too far to walk to the esplanade, local shops and eateries. We got a temporary membership of the club across the street, which helped our meal budget. Though there is a backpackers next door, our room, being closer to the back street and night entrance, we didn't hear their revelries once we were inside, with the door shut and TV on. The kitchen, near the reception area was well enough stocked to do our own cooking had we wished. The young managers were very pleasant and helpful.

Disappointing accommodation

We were told by reception upon check in that we were lucky she was about to make lunch. We stayed two nights and did not see management/reception staff the entire time. Went to ask about wi-fi and was answered by person using intercom despite it being within reception hours. Room sadly in need to attention. Springs coming through mattress, very dirty shower curtain. Outside garden needs attention as we witnessed a frond (quite large) fall on another guest's vehicle. We do appreciate what you pay for but this motel is less than back-packer standard.

There was an outdoor setting in the corner of the room with 1 chair ( there was 2 of us). There was only 2 towels and a bath mat and soap. No face washer or shampoo...lucky we took some shampoo.
