Michelle obviously loves her job. The motel isn’t posh, but is excellent value for money, very comfortable with speedy wifi in a quiet, picturesque location. The pelicans at the end of the street are a bonus. This is my second time here and I’ll be back.

The room and premises were spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Staff most friendly and obliging. Very comfy bed. Kitchen in the room was excellent and made life easier as the weather was dismal.

Large, clean & comfortable room.
On arrival the owner Michelle was very helpful explaining all the features of the area and offered a couple of suggestions on where to dine for the evening. Our room was large with a small balcony overlooking the pool. The room presented well and was exceptionally clean and inviting. The bathroom was also large giving plenty of room for two people to easily get ready at the same time. The bed was very comfortable for a good nights sleep. There is an IGA close by the Motel if needed and Tea Gardens is a short drive for additional shops.

I had to cancel this booking as our house got flooded and we could not leave the area as we needed to clean up see insurers ect. I contacted the manager and she refused to assist or give me a credit because I had made the booking online. Very disappointed with the lack of empathy.

Clean and comfortable
Accommodation was clean and comfortable although our room was not serviced while we were there.The room had a kichenette, a large bathroom and a balcony. The balcony was a handy space that we used a lot. However we were puzzled by rules concerning family groups using the BBQ area. Our visiting daughter and son in law felt most unwelcome when they joined us for a BBQ and were told they must leave by 8.30. No one else was using the area, it was raining and we certainly weren't noisy! Very offputing!
