Beautifully presented rooms.
This motel was a little old and run down on the outside. However, the rooms were lovely. The managers have put a lot of time into making every part of your stay a memory. Very comfortable, clean and homely. Only 800m walk to the main shops which was good as a lot quieter.

Run down
This is a very old motel which is long past the need for a refurbish. The surrounds were unkept and quite deterioted. The 3.5 star self assessment is completely unwarranted. The price was twice what it was worth.

My husband and I stayed here on our drive between Melbourne and Sydney and absolutely loved it! The two women that own and run it are wonderful. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed and included fun added touches, cookies to greet us! Location walkable to great restaurants, the water and shopping. I highly recommend it!

Stayed in deluxe queen room for an overnight stay. Room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, easy parking right outside the room and quiet at night. Handy kitchen utensils, plates, cups and nice to have the coffee pod machine. Lots of little extra touches to make us feel welcome. Staff were friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy doing what they do. Would recommend this motel. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.
