Clean and Comfortable

PStayed here overnight while exploring Surf Highway.
Received a friendly welcome from the relief managers. Even some fresh milk and biscuits.
Our room was excellent. Spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable but could have done with new pillows. Bit flat. Our room had everything we needed, all in good working order.
The only reason I didn’t give this property 5 stars was the road noise. The managers graciously moved us to about midway in the motel, but we could still here traffic noise from inside the room.
Apart from that it’s a lovely modern property and we enjoyed our stay.
