Horrible! Room was dirty, curtains and walls mouldy and dirty, towels provided were stained, toilet seat broken, bathroom sink burnt and damaged, sofa felt like i was sitting in years worth of sweat and dirt. I refused to take my thongs off even to shower. It was a shame the location was great but not even that could make me want to stay here again.

It's an old motel undergoing renovation. Our room was small but had everything we needed & was very clean with a comfortable bed. The room was well set up with a good size fridge/freezer, 2 hotplates, a small kitchen with cookwear, plates, dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, wine glasses, etc. We had a small balcony and a 10/10 ocean view. The parking was a little awkward due to our vehicle being over the 2 metre carpark entry because of kayak roof racks & we had to drive in a tight space around the buildings to enter the carpark from the back. The open carpark was full, so we couldn't park there. It's doable, but just a little awkward. It wouldn't be a problem getting into the carpark if your vehicle is under the 2 metre height restriction. We would definitely stay again. Good value for the price. Other accommodation in that area is very expensive. A couple of hooks on the inside of the bathroom door would be most helpful for hanging clothes while you shower.

The 3 bedroom unit was very spacious with ample room for the family. The balcony was a lovely place to sit and relax while listening to the ocean. So close to the beach! We have stayed a couple of times and will stay again next time we are in town.

Stayed in the 3brm executive room and it was perfect! Newly renovated and a perfect home away from home. We were so comfortable in this space. It was beautifully presented, clean, and our entertaining area overlooking the pool was amazing. The shared area overlooking the beach was amazing!
