"Long line to check in. Would recommend not checking in right on 2pm wait a little for shorter lines. Our room didn’t come with a dedicated parking spot so we had to park further away and walk which wasn’t too bad thankfully it wasn’t raining. Room was clean"

"Everything you expect from a coastal town motel. Friendly staff, room serviced, general areas clean but areas out of sight like behind and under the tv cabinet, top of air con unit, top of cabinets all need a good dusting. That’s my only issue. Just dust on everything"

10/10 Excellent
"Wish we could stay longer. We were only there for one evening. We arrived later in the evening and just grabbed our keys in front of the office, which was closed. Not an issue - there was a provided phone/whatsapp number for the staff who picked up right away and was on-site anyways. Loved the new renovations, including the new heating/lighting in the bathroom - welcome features as we visited during winter. Short ~10 min walk to the nearby restaurants, and down the street from the beach. Would stay again."
