Nice hotel, huge room with patio out onto the grass. Across the road from the shopping centre and near the hotel but still very quiet especially at night. Well equipped room with toaster, microwave and kettle and plenty of tea, coffee, sugar. Very clean motel and grounds. Nice friendly and helpful staff.

This was a nice motel in a good location with Shops just across the road. Rooms were a great size and had microwave and kettle, table and chairs. Nice pool area. Motel was quiet but unfortunately we were kept awake all night by a fire alarm that kept bipping. Staff were friendly and helpful. Kiosk checkin worked really well. Would recommend it

We were looking for a clean and comfortable place to rest our heads at night after fun days out and about. It met our expectations based on price and photos. Handy location near Woolies, not close enough to walk to the beach but an easy couple of minutes drive. Would definitely stay again.
