Coming in from the cold day to check in, friendly staff, heater was on in the room, spotless room. It was so nice I was looking for the log fire and hot chocolate. Great parking with wide access all around your car. Just a pleasant stay.

Room was clean and they had the heater on for us which was nice cause it was freezing and raining when we arrived. Rooms are cleaned daily and restocked with essential items like- milk, coffee, shampoo soap and fresh towels. Play ground kept the kids entertained and could see the kids from the whole motel- pool wasn’t open but could see it looking nice and clean. Staff where very friendly on arrival and when out in the motel walking around, cleaners were lovely greeting us during our stay. Would definitely stay again, reasonable priced, very close to everything which was good

Stayed for 2 nights. As soon as i walked in to reception, i was greeted with the best customer service and at check out. By far the best stay my partner and i both had,as its not often there is an electric blanket for those cold nights which was awesome. We Stayed in the studio room with a stovetop and a good size fridge and kitchen which we were really happy about and a car park right outside the room. Would definately stay at Seahorse motel again.

Seahorse Motel was easy to get to, close to main street but quiet. It was well maintained with clean, modern facilities, one outstanding features from my perspective, was the water pressure was amazing with PLENTY of hot water! The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
