Run down
This is a very old motel which is long past the need for a refurbish. The surrounds were unkept and quite deterioted. The 3.5 star self assessment is completely unwarranted. The price was twice what it was worth.

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.

Our room was spotless and tastefully decorated. Facilities in the room were of a high standard and the operators had gone the extra mile to provide those little treats that made us most welcome. We’d highly recommend this spacious, well maintained accommodation

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!

Stayed in deluxe queen room for an overnight stay. Room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, easy parking right outside the room and quiet at night. Handy kitchen utensils, plates, cups and nice to have the coffee pod machine. Lots of little extra touches to make us feel welcome. Staff were friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy doing what they do. Would recommend this motel. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

Awesome motel to stay. Super clean room, awesome bed and great shower. Very spacious plus a couch and table and chairs. We were greeted as if friends plus as an added touch, homemade biscuits on arrival. They were delicious.
