An older hotel, with an imaculately clean room. A bottle of milk was offered at check in which is much better than a couple of the little plastic pots. Plenty of hot water. Walking distance to McDonald's for a quick morning coffee.

Staff very accommodating, we arrived early, the staff were fantastic.we got to our room on Valentines day where we found a card and personalized welcome letter as well as fruit bread in the fridge. They also put the air con on as it was a hot day. There was cold milk in two jugs in the fridge and 2 bottles of water. Thank you so much, if we hadn't booked somewhere else for the next day, we would of stayed longer thanks Sue, you were đź‘Ť

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and neat everything was as we booked very late and did not expect to find good accommodation, especially at the listed price. The hosts were amazing and very thoughtful. They made us Christmas baked goods, which was really sweet.

As we stayed over summer, I just wish the AC unit was a bit stronger. Not a deal breaker, though, as it did the job. Being a coastal area, the breeze was really good, so we definitely were not cooking.

Amazing Hosts! They went out of their way to make sure our stay was the best it could be. Super friendly and greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. Even gave us a cold drink after our ride in on our motorcycles. Had plenty of Tea & coffee and milk. Even some bread to toast for breakfast!.

This motel is on a road that has a lot of truck traffic and due to our units facing the street we did hace a bit of traffic noise. The owners are aware of this and are double glazing and putting up heavier curtains and build a fence which will all make a big difference.

Clean, lots of space in the room. Good privacy. Overall very happy, the staff even included breakfast for us - some bread, peanut butter, jam, etc in the fridge! They gave a generous amount of milk which was greatly appreciated so we could have our morning drinks.

We did notice a loud banging at around 11pm coming from next door and we were the room at the end so presumably coming from the staff room? We were unsure what it was, quite loud! But it wasn't too bad since we were awake anyway and it only lasted 5 minutes or so.

Breakfast was a bonus we weren't expecting. Our room had snacks on the table with an information sheet that included the weather report. Fridge not only had 3 jugs of milk but also had slices of bread with jam and Nutella and two bottles of cold filtered water. The room was perfectly clean and tidy with everything in it's place.

The dining room table let this accommodation down it was wobbly and no legroom due to the table legs. Property would be perfect if dining table was replaced with a table with stable legs.
