Loved the location, easy to walk around for everything that we need. Beach, park, groceries, cafes, restaurants. Ideal for small children and was nice to hang around the salt water pool if the beach felt like too much. My apartment was average but also everything we needed for a few days stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Only one set of towels or you’d have to pay. Bed is not a true queen but a double and uncomfortable. Staff were ok, internet is not even NBN and cuts out all the time and you need it cause no reception in area. Beautiful part of the world though.

I booked a Queen studio. I would have thought a studio had a small kitchenette, but all that was there was a fridge placed next to the tv unit which is where the cutlery and cups were kept. We had to use the bathroom sink for washing up. Luckily it was only a short stay so we managed, but had we have booked for a week I would have been very unhappy. It was also very dated and the bed was terrible.

Excellent location and good value

Great location with my room set back off the main road, it was very quiet. The room was a little dusty with built up dust on the towel rail and bench/table tops. The towel rail was loose so I didn't use it in case it fell off the wall. The staff were very friendly - Jen was fabulous and overall it was a very nice place to stay. The room had a slight musty smell on arrival but acceptable. Decor was a bit tired and needed a freshen up but I would stay here again for convenience. Good value.

Disappointed

Hot days, air conditioning didn’t work, fan was so loud and didn’t offer much relief from the heat, spoke to manager and they put in a portable air conditioner, no better. Very little sleep possible. Apart from that, the pool was nice, location great, reception friendly and helpful. Parking a problem, often no parking spots had to park a fair way from the motel.
