The room was non smoking but it smelt like stale tobacco smoke. Check in was easy but we had a lot of gear which we didn’t want to leave in our car. Our room was up a flight of stairs. It would have been helpful if we had been offered assistance to carry our bags.
The location was good and the parking was excellent.There is a good play area for children with a grassy area. Some outdoor seating for adults on the grassy area would be a bonus on hot days.

Overall we had an enjoyable stay here, but just a few minor details would have made it a great stay.
The rooms have fridges with an ice compartment but no ice. After a very long a tiring journey I just wanted a cold glass of wine.
Shower gel in the shower but no shampoo and conditioner.
Nice and clean though and about a 10 minutes walk into the heart of town.

This was the perfect small town motel. My room was super clean and included all sorts of amenities from clothing iron, portable stove, kettle, microwave, etc. There is a laundry onsite but you pay for the dryer and washer is free. There are cats who live on the property and they are all super friendly and cute! I was greeted by them all throughout my stay and it really added to the experience. 10/10 recommend!

Stop over

We arrived earlier than the 14.00 hours booking in time. I politely asked if it was possible to take the room earlier. If it had not been possible I would have accepted the decision. The key was handed over and I paid. The lady in question did not present a welcoming demeanour that I have seen in the other properties I have stayed in.

Points of issue with Room 18:
1. Heater in bathroom does not work
2. Shower head leaks
3. Sink needs attention due to not emptying quick enough

Short walk to sea front

Motel was clean and tidy, it is by the side of the main road but was not affected by road noise. Short but (depending of which way you go) steep route down to sea front. The room was affected by a group of motorcyclists who were somewhat noisy.

This place was nice except for the staff. We never felt very welcome. We asked for milk once and were questioned about possibly drinking it. We stayed for 3 nights and never asked for anything else. We very rarely ever saw anyone in the office and the man that we spoke with was very brusque and unsmiling.

Easily accessible alongside the main State Highway 1, which does mean that there is quite a bit of road noise that can be heard in the rooms, however, it does go quieter at night. It is also an easy 10/15 walk into town, although it is all uphill on the way back.
Check in and Check out were functional rather than done with any great show of cheerfulness.
Everything, though was well maintained and clean. The room was a good size with a decent area for food preparation, with a sink, microwave, fridge and kettle.
There is also a handy Guest Laundry (coin operated) between rooms 1 & 2.

Very clean, easy check in, comfortable and quiet. Very comfortable bed! Nice to have plunger coffee available as well. Would definitely use again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend as a great place to stay. Loved meeting Blue who swung by to say hi as we were leaving (Blue the dog). Thank you!

Beautiful property. Very nicely appointed room. Right near park with gorgeous view of the mountains. A little away from the traffic of downtown, but still walkable, or only a couple minutes by car.

Immaculately presented room, the shower had amazing water pressure, we woke to mountain views and best of all they offered plunger coffee. We also love their environmental ethos. We will stay again on our way back north.

Interesting Stay

Nice room, unfortunately we could hear everything from upstairs, including during the night. Wifi wasn’t very good.

The motel was fine but I was surprised to find an extra $20 charged to my credit card after my trip. The motel explained that was due to my two kids but the management did not inform me before hand of the charges for children nor did they ask about the number of guests. I would be happy to pay the extra $20 but surely it’s not the right way of doing business by imposing the charge without informing the customer. For anyone who books this motel, do check your credit card statement carefully to avoid any surprise charges.

Our mattress was old and uncomfortable. Bathroom nice, but room itself could do with a revamp.
