We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sally, the owner was helpful with local information. She was happy to re-freeze our esky ice bricks to make onward travel easier. Yes, it is an older motel, but delightfully refurbished. The room and bathroom were spotless as was bbq area. The pool was very pleasant on a hot day. All in all we couldn't have asked for more. We had a very pleasant stay in a great value motel.

More than a motel!

Great little stay for our family over 2 nights. Motel has had a lovely renovation in the rooms, but it’s the pool and pool area that really exceeded our expectations. Beautifully decorated area and pool nice and warm. Loved the poolside bar with happy hour. Motel is super close to town. About 2-3 mins walk to most things you need. Great little beach for young kids about 10-15 min walk (or 3 min drive). Would highly recommend yo anyone
