The owner was very friendly and welcoming when I arrived. Simple process and I stayed 2 nights. The room was very clean and spacious and good for what I was looking for. The simple continental breakfast I ordered was great and very reasonable. The bed was clean and comfortable with enough pillows and good bed linen. The bathroom was very tired and in need of renovation at some stage BUT it was very clean and functional so was good enough for my short stay. I appreciated the plunger coffee too. All in all, for the reasonable price I was able to pay, I thought the Motel was clean, comfortable and good for a weekend stay. Was also quiet at night which was helpful for a good nights sleep. I wish the owners all the best for their future and may pop back for another weekend later this year. Thank you!

Good basic motel. Although furnishings show signs of age, very comfortable beds. New bed linens (would buy these if I could) and towels. Heated bed underpads for colder nights. Very clean. No charge laundry washer and dryer for common use. No elevator but very accommodating staff will assign a ground floor room on request. The only con was poor wifi in our unit.

Enjoyed the Exec Suite being upstairs. The location was great in walking nearby the beach & shops.
Overall state of the motel requires ALOT of upgrading! Quite dilapidated.
Appears to be nice looking on website, but BEWARE!
Bedding & linen is very old. Needs to be replaced! Double bed had no support. Quite worn out. Ended up with a sore back, first night. Moved furniture around to sleep on single bed. Quite horrifed at the rubbish/dust hidden under single bed & 2-seater sofa!
No instructions on how to use the Daiken heat pump.
Carpark is very pokey. Came out next morning to leave & found my small car sandwiched between (2) SUVs. Car park lines are faded. No room for visitor cars.
Receptionist handed me a small bottle of milk on my arrival. The day I booked in was the expiry date of the milk!
Cleaning/servicing was terrible! Dead insects & dust seen clearly with the naked eye around edges of carpet.
Very little pride or professionalism shown in the staff.
Quite disappointed overall.

The place was fine for our needs. The man at reception helped carry our luggage which was great. It was an older property but otherwise great. Location was excellent.

Bed was as hard as rocks, pizza boxes still in the cupboard from previous people, kitchen was in poor condition and the whole place was extremely tired. Did not enjoy it at all.

Great location and a comfortable room…..just a bit of noise from movement in the room above and rooms next door…..sound proofing could be improved.

I was in room 14 and all I could hear was something flapping in the wind and it kept me awake.
The lady at the counter was so polite and helpful.
