On first arrival the room looked really clean, bright, tidy and spacious. The soft green wall and beach artwork was beautiful - perfect even. Going into the bathroom was more disappointing, as there was water damaged laminate under the sink cabinet, which housed the spa equipment, which means there was also no storage. The shower was absolutely brilliant!!! The only real complaint is about the cleansing products. They are cheap - the hand wash and body wash gel is actually rubbish and did not lather or wash the residue makeup off my hands. I washed my hands three times and it still didn't come off - good luck cleaning the white towels. If you improve a couple of these easy to fix issues, you would get an even higher rating. The accommodation is in a convenient spot. I did find $299 per night rather steep in price - it's not the Ramada.

At first, we were quite confused to book the motel because of the location as it was one hour away from Nelson bay. However, once we arrived, we found it was worth it. Such a lovely staff and clean room. Plus, the country club is just behind the hotel so it was really convenient to go for a drink and dinner. Also, enjoying the karaoke.
