This motel is an older motel but the owners have made it cozy and clean. A little note is left welcoming you to your room with some homemade cookies. The room also includes dishware and silverware, coffee and tea as well as an nespresso machine and a kettle. Perfect room for the night.

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.

The room had lots of lovely homely feel about it including the welcome cookies, fake plants and lively prints and quotes. The exterior grounds needs some TLC to enhance its appearance.

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.
