The motel was easy to find and well situated near shops and restaurants and it was quiet.
The room was very clean and had everything that was needed, we only stayed for one night but would stay longer if needed. Free parking was a plus, right outside the door. I requested for a ground floor room and was provided with that.
About two hours before check in time I received communication indicating the room number, passcode to open the door and the free wifi password.
I am very happy with the accommodation and would recommend it to others.

You get everything you expect from a motel.
The beach is a short walk away and it’s close to all Thirroul’s pubs and restaurants.
Yet the place is away from noise.
I slept for 9 hours like a baby here.
There is no reception- everything is done via electronic comms, there is a number to call if needed.
It is far away from Sydney. My business was in Sutherland. It’s about 35min drive. Totally worth it.

Bed was comfy with crisp linens, large bath towels. Needed an extra mirror other than the one in the bathroom. We asked for a power board or extension lead as my mums cpap sleep apnea machine couldn’t plug into power points as they are right at the bottom of the skirting boards. After some time I was notified via text message that they had found 2 & had left them on the table in our room which was helpful. Also a bedside table next to single bed would be a good addition. Overall enjoyable stay in a convenient location.

Location is really the only thing going for this Motel. It’s old and tired. Room 21 needed towels over the window to stop the light from the stairs keeping us awake. Blinds didn’t close properly.

We had 1 coffee cup.
The bathroom was from the 70’s. As was my bed I think.

For the price you pay I’d expect more. Definitely not worth the price tag.

Staff were great though and it was close to the function we were attending.

Decent price and 5 minute walk to Anitas Theatre for show over the long weekend. Plenty of parking and check-in is via a SMS message to unlock the door. Had basic toiletries, towels,decent fridge and microwave. TV is a bit of a nightmare to operate and wifi is below average. Was pretty quiet once the restaurant customers next door at Andies left. Good price for what you get. Local hotel is next to Anitas and has plenty food to choose and the kitchen stays open until 4pm for lunch on the weekend. We went to go back there after the show but wanted a $20cover charge.For a pub! Visit the Tequila Bar on the walk back to the motel.

The property was ideally located for my stay. It was a 300m walk to the venue I attended.
The room was clean and had a microwave, plates and cups etc as well as good sized fridge.
The bathroom was clean but old and needs some updating. The window at the back of the room could not be latched and there was no safe.
As everything was electronic the only interaction I had with the staff were the cleaners who were lovely.
Parking was easy. It had an old motel charm about it. Yes I would stay there again.

Do not stay.

Room had not been cleaned properly. The previous guest's half-drunk Pepsi bottle was still in the fridge, the milk was opened and spilt in the fridge, one coffee satchel only, no cereals or anything like our friends had in their room. The bathroom is really old and in desperate need of an update. The shower was terrible. The free to air TV didn't work. The blinds don't block out the bright lights of the external stairwell. We had a cockroach running around the room. The only good thing about the room was the bed was comfortable.

For the prices being charged, this was a very underwhelming facility. Even though it was the Easter LWE, I would have expected the dinning facilities to be open. The room was tidy enough however there was a missing shelf over the very old and dated sink in the bathroom, the hot water tap fell off in my hand and was unable to put back on properly because the thread had stripped and to top it all off, the bathroom leaked from under the tiles out onto the carpet.
Then to top it all off, I was in the room where a famous Artist died many years ago!!!
I would not reccommend this Hotel to anyone...

Received a message advising of check in details & aircon was running when we got there, which was appreciated on such a hot day.

3 x single beds, mattresses were reasonably comfortable, but 1 bed was located directly under the airconditioner & was blowing straight on my grandson, so we couldn't have it on during the night.
Vertical blinds on windows allowed a lot of light in & as there was a lot of noise from the main road.
Packets of cereals in the fridge were a nice touch.
Best feature of the motel is it's location - walking distance to beach, pool & eatteries.
