Everything looked almost new staff were very friendly and helpful when this motel was built It looks like no money was spared in making the fixtures, and the overall set up a replacement place to be. Definitely not your average motel. It may be a little further out from the town centre then some but well worth walking an extra few steps. ##### david Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Randi 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room size was great, as was the outside space.

Plenty of parking. Very well maintained room. Convenient laundry facilities. Quiet but effective air conditioning. No view from Room 8, but an area outside the ranch slider where you can sit. Generously- sized bathroom and good hot water supply. Modern TV and free Netflix. Small kitchen area and limited equipment, but with so many cafes nearby eating out is the best option. Super close to the beach. ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 2 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was very clean & spacious Only negative was a large tub catching water leaking from the ceiling right outside our door We were on the ground floor & had a lovely private courtyard with outdoor furniture Very handy to the beach ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly, clean and so close to the beach! ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and amenities ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spa Bath was a winner!
