It is a basic motel, but has everything you need for a short stay: a nice hostess at the reception, clean room with microwave, tea/coffee facilities, cutlery and fridge. It was nice to have keyless entry to the room, so not to carry keys around. It is a quite location, but motel is on the hill. It is about 5-7 minutes walk downhill to the marina and beach.

Was fine for what it was, the location was AMAZING! The bathroom could use some serious upgrading...there was rust and stuff around but all in all it was fine for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. One downside was that they were short by 2 car park spaces so if you get back late, you might not have a place to park. There is a gravel parking area behind the motel you can use, but that was pretty full too, only fit because I had a small car.

In 7 weeks of travel, it is by far the worst motel we have staid in. The reception was cold and unfriendly. The room was smelly and hot as the AC wasn’t working. There was a bug on my bed and we were scare of walking barefoot. There was a guess that started screeming in the late evening, he was slamming doors and making a racquet for an hour. The staff didn’t do anything. Again, by far the worst motel/hotel out of around 40 motels/hotels. Avoid this location!!!!!

Rooms are desperately small. But.... it is a very short walk into the marina and town and this redeems it. Outside areas need a good clean and pool furniture needs replacing urgently.

Turned up to check in, no one on front desk, note on door to say call a number. Unable to call that number as our Sims aren't on the Australian network. Luckily another guest passed us and lent their phone so we were able to check in. We had the misfortune of checking into room 8. As soon as you opened the door you could smell the damp. The fridge had gone rusty due to the damp and the air had a strange taste. The dust in the room was at another level. Unable to now contact the main desk, we moved to another hotel without even unpacking. The following day I went back and someone was at reception. To be fair to the lady (Melissa) she arranged a refund with no fuss and was very apologetic. Do not be fulled by the pictures posted on their site, in real life it looks like a hotel certain people would hire it for an hour. We didn't even last that long 😬
