The room is very basic but clean, the bed is too soft for us. Also the staff service was just so-so as the day before check-in, I left two questions for the lady the lady who called for my credit card details. She said she will pass questions on so someone will call me back the next morning. However after we check-out, I still hear nothing back.

Parking at your door. All rooms on ground level. Family room had seperate bedroom for children. Seperate toilet to bathroom. Across the road to the beach. Best cafe/restaurant 4 doors along the street. I deducted a point because in the longe room is a sofa bed which is a bit uncomfortable to use as a couch. Would prefer a 2 & 1/2 seater couch and a chair. We will definitely be back

This property was clean, walking distance to beach & pier, cafes & restaurants. Great spot. Hot water shower tap needed a lot of turns to start. That’s the only negative and it’s a tiny negative. Toaster, coffee machine, kettle, microwave & fridge covered everything really. Room was a good size too. Definitely be back.

The motel has clearly had a fresh coat of paint, but underneath it all, it still feels very old. The room was cold, the mattress and pillows were low quality and uncomfortable, and the noise from the vents made it difficult to relax. Unfortunately, there were also large spiderwebs near the vents in the toilet, which was off putting. Definitely some improvements, but still a long way to go in terms of comfort and upkeep

My room was well presented and smelled really good too; well done there. It had everything you needed. My one and only slight negative is the bathroom size. Quite small really and the mirror above the sink was so low I had to crouch down when I shaved. Okay if you are 4' but hey, the room itself more than makes up for this.

Clean, simple, easy access, no table inside the room, wheres there's one in few other rooms, babe to standing to eat our snacks, but the corner room defiantly the quietest. Bed not the most comfortable, but clean bed sheets.

Nice and convenient - right across the road from a lovely beach that was perfect for kids. Crystal clear water and loads of little sea critters to spot in the shallows! Reception was lovely and very helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable.

We had a issue with one of the rooms that very loud noise and yelling for over 3 hours. Can not contact management at all so we had to call the police .
