Pleasant stay
Room was very clean and bed very comfortable. Greeted with home made cookies and nice note. Very pleasant if anything was requested. Within walking distance to the beach and town. Really enjoyed our stay. A little dated but that’s fine. It was clean and comfortable. That’s what matters. Very nice people.

Great stay
Although , the hotel was built in the 90’s the new owners have really made an effort to modernise the rooms . Very clean and bright good quality linen, full crockery and cutlery sets . Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, great kettle . Well worth the stay. Good location, you can walk to beach shops pub etc.

This motel is an older motel but the owners have made it cozy and clean. A little note is left welcoming you to your room with some homemade cookies. The room also includes dishware and silverware, coffee and tea as well as an nespresso machine and a kettle. Perfect room for the night.

Beautifully presented rooms.
This motel was a little old and run down on the outside. However, the rooms were lovely. The managers have put a lot of time into making every part of your stay a memory. Very comfortable, clean and homely. Only 800m walk to the main shops which was good as a lot quieter.

The room had lots of lovely homely feel about it including the welcome cookies, fake plants and lively prints and quotes. The exterior grounds needs some TLC to enhance its appearance.

My husband and I stayed here on our drive between Melbourne and Sydney and absolutely loved it! The two women that own and run it are wonderful. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed and included fun added touches, cookies to greet us! Location walkable to great restaurants, the water and shopping. I highly recommend it!
