This is an older motel in need of some upgrade. For a 1 night stay I found this to be quite adequate. Staff was friendly and room was acceptable.

Great location. Affordable. Staff friendly and there for you needs. Property would get 10/10 if renovated but then I guess they would put the price up.

The property requires a lot of maintenance work, up grades on rooms and facilities. Location to the venue was great. Price was good. Items for rooms no hairdryer, shower flooded floor in bathroom. Taps require maintenance for bathroom sink and shower.

Room to improve and good staff and owner
I enjoyed staff and owner friendly service and good location, But it needs to complete renovation while some still half done. I will go again next time to see it completely renovated.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Its close to the water, in a nice convenient spot. Later checkout to most places. However, upon entering heading to our room there was a hole in the roof (looked like bad water damage) in the pool they have a nice shallow end for children, but the pool was dirty, we pulled a half fish body out of the shallow section. Overall just had a real weird vibe.

Leanne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Overpriced for the rundown facility. Poor workmanship for an attempt to refresh the rooms, needs new bathroom, painting, furniture old and battered doors have forced entry damage walls damaged, towel stuffed in bathroom ceiling vent to block the hole! In our friends room. Photo of pool area does not represent the facility condition. Needs a complete revamp. Could not get out of there quick enough.

No one in reception . Poor maintenance of property. No hot water. Poor kitchen equipment- no plates or cutlery. Very disappointing as the location is great .

Mixed Feedback
Air conditioner did not work, cooling function was definitely not working. Air con set on 17 felt like 25 deg. With a pregnant wife and a hot day, this was uncomfortable. After raising this with reception and maintenance - they assured me I was wrong and that the Air con was working fine. Ridiculous. Not handled well by management. Rooms are very old and ours wasn't cleaned sufficiently. Pool was clean and worth swimming in. Great location.
Matt, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was not clean properly. It smelt of someone smoked in there and I think next to me had a cat that kept me up all night.
Robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Sheets, pillow slips and towels were clean at least. My wife swapped pillows during the night because her ONE pillow was uncomfortable. It’s very run down, with weeds growing between pavers on the mezzanine area and poolside. The pool, while the water looked clean had lots of debris on the bottom, including a spoon the was still there the day we checked out. It is conveniently located near the waterfront entertainment area. But could be a bit foreboding for a woman, alone at night. There had been a stabbing in The El Lago Caravan Park which is three doors down and owned by the same company.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is fantastic, very walkable to the main shops. Our family room was clean, sps hood, has hot water, fridge, microwave and kettle plus small tv. Value for money
