The accommodation during my stay offered a delicious complimentary breakfast, and the accommodation has pool and bay views for the most reasonable of tariffs, and walkable to Airlie Village.

Quiet, clean plenty of space in the rooms. Restaurant for breakfast had plenty of options and definitely recommend the eggs benny. Only draw back is not having designated parking for the rooms, and had to park on the street.

Over all great friendly staff and service
All was good except for the people in the room above us. Dragging the chairs on the floor and were a little noisy. Not the hotels fault, just the people who were above us. They were quiet after a little while and I slept very well in the comfy bed.

An older motel but still with some water views. Situated just a short 5min walk from town and not uphill. 2 pools which both looked nice although too cold to try at the time. Include breakfast is only very basic continental however other option available to purchase. Did not dine in the restaurant but menu looked okay. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. The blinds are the Venetian type and do not give any darkness once the sun is up. The shower did need a good clean with mould / scum build up around base. Overall not a bad spot to stay.
