Relaxing location
The lovely lady I spoke to when I checked in was very welcoming, warm and friendly. The accomodation was comfortable, clean and had the amenities that we needed. The location is amazing and I slept so well with the sound of the waves lapping on the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Pleasant and comfortable motel
Nicely equipped room. Had everything we needed. Friendly check-in. Parking directly outside the room was good for unloading and loading the car.
The bed was comfy and the shower good.
It was nice to be able to walk to the beach from the motel.

A Genuinely Lovely Motel.
Absolutely perfect stay.
From the friendly and helpful staff to the spick and span unit.
Excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds.
We loved our brief stay here.
The units are fully equipped for meal prep and the New World Supermarket is 200m away. Town is a really pleasant 1.5km walk.
The property has direct access to the beach and coastal walking track, the train line is adjacent for train spotting.
On site laundry for a very reasonable price. Picnic tables tables for alfresco dining.
Don’t change a thing !

The room was nice, nothing super fancy but the kitchenette had all you would need. The location is nice, you can't see the ocean but it is a very short walk to the beach (across the seemingly rarely used train tracks). It is 1-2 km from the center of town. Overall, very good value!
