Pleasant for a 1 night stay.
Easy walk to eatery, other shops and beach.
We were to go upstairs - when we asked about a ground floor - it was no trouble.

Love this place. A giant happy bunch rocked up, were friendly but partied until 3:30 am. I suppose it can happen anywhere but makes for a bad sleep.

We had a great stay at Santa Fe. Its proximity to the beach, restaurant/cafes and some shops is perfect. The staff were easy to communicate with and very accommodating, we would absolutely recommend staying here.

Whilst the unit was not ultra modern it was clean, tidy & very comfortable. It’s in a great spot with only a short walk to the beach & the main strip of Lennox Head. From booking to checkin the staff were both friendly & helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to return

Although the property was older, it was clean and the beds were super comfortable. Close to the beachfront and local shops. Rooms had microwave and dishes supplied along with the usual coffee facilities.
Overall, a nice motel with lovely staff.

There were cockroaches in the kitchen - a lot of them, and the fan in the master bedroom didn't work properly, so I barely slept due to both issues. On the bright side, the owner took on the feedback and was prepared to fix the issue - didn't help me, but should hopefully help future visitors. Maybe if the previous tenants had opened up it may have been fixed before we got there! Great communication from the owner prior, and the place in general and layout of the room was very good.
