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.
