Amazing little gem, right on the Gold Coast highway. Don't let the outside fool you, beyond the gate a freshly renovated modern beach side accommodation. Rooms surround a fresh inviting pool area. The beach a few blocks down the street completes the stay. The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. Absolutely stay again given the need.

Way overpriced for what you get - which isn;t much. Its not kept clean as there are large dust balls all over the floor. The kettle and nespresso machine are old and dirty. Towels are stained. Would not recommend.

Great boutique motel!
This is a lovely little place, but unfortunately tram/roadworks didnt make for a comfortable night. I would definitely stay again once the traffic nightworks situation is completed and would highly recommend this lovely motel to any traveller!
