We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Beachside Sunnyvale Motel. Colin and Tomoko were incredible hosts, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their kindness.

Tomoko welcomed us so warmly and was extremely accommodating, especially as she helped us at the last minute after our original accommodation fell through. She made sure we had everything we needed, showed us where everything was, and even had fresh milk waiting in the fridge for us.

We booked the queen room and it exceeded our expectations, it was spotless, beautifully set up, and very comfortable. The location is perfect, right by the water with gorgeous views that made our stay even more special.

We truly couldn’t recommend Beachside Sunnyvale Motel enough. Tomoko and Colin went above and beyond and made us feel so welcome. Amazing hosts and a fantastic place to stay.

Older hotel but well kept with some updates with lots of character and roominess. Full kitchen amenities and a great spot for an overnight or a family vacation by the water.

Spacious and partly modern.

Nice quiet spot away from the port of Picton. Bedroom and bathroom modern and spacious though the kitchen is cramped and dates from about 1970.

Dissatisfied with our accommodation.

Drive way was substandard (old) and the electric jug leaked. Behind a false curtain was a paint blistered wall. The TV selection was limited with no Sky or Netflix
The bathroom facilities were good, but overall this Motel is tired and very dated. The online advertising misled us by indicating seaviews, which were not seen from our row of units.
