The room was fine and staff friendly enough but all the rooms facing the main road are affected by traffic noise which disturbed sleep and rest - so only book room facing the rear of the hotel.

Had another overnight stay here in a similar studio room. Bathroom was very nice and recently renovated. The room decor is a little dated but in good condition. We had tea/coffee making and a small microwave. The motel is about a 10 min walk into Shellharbour and about 15 min to its beach and public ocean pool. Reception closes at 8pm and we’d forgotten to organise a late check in but a call to the motel about 8:45 took care of this for us. Overall it’s a pretty nice place for a short budget stay.
