We booked a 2 bedroom unit and couldn't be more happier with the choice of motel. Very clean & spacious, lovely accomodating hosts, takeaways and mini mart right across the road, super convenient location to Baypark Arena. Had a morning of Op Shopping which were all very close and Bayfair Mall just down the road. Will be rebooking for next year.

It was a nice place to stay. Was a little cold in the loft as the only heater was downstairs but the electric blankets made it bearable. Would not recommend for solo female travelers because there was no manual lock/ deadbolt on the door. So the only lock was the keycard lock.

Close to Baypark Arena where we had an event. Please note: the speedway is loud because it’s close BUT they finish at a reasonable time so it doesn’t keep you awake etc. Nice room, we had a mezzanine floor with queen bed upstairs, everything else was on the bottom floor. Room had everything we needed and the small kitchen is well stocked. The property has guest laundry which is always a plus for us and the heated pool was lovely, just warmer than body temp. It is quite deep in the middle so you must get in with your kids. Our only minus is that the lighting is sparse in the unit so it feels quite dark at times. However it’s great value for money and walking distance from the pools and Bayfair so we’re booked in to stay again in 6months time.
