The staff were very accommodating as we asked if it was possible to check in early. The bed and pillow were comfortable. It is just an older building with an outdated bathroom. But suited our needs due to its location for 1 night.

The property provides the basics for your stay. The rooms are dated but everything you need is there. It is a flat 15 minute walk to the beach, and about 25 minute walk to the town centre. Check in and out process easy.

Great place to stay. We stayed in a large room with two single beds and one queen bed. The motel also has an outdoor swimming pool which includes a hot spa. If the pool is too cold the spa will be just right. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

The room had sliding door to outside garden - sadly a bit dry in the very hot weather. Spacious room with good facilities. I would have preferred a softer pillow.

Pool and pool spa great. If you don't mind outdated rooms this will be fine. At first we thought oh dear lucky we are only staying one night as room smelt. Front counter have is Glen 20 and with a good spray and opening the skidding doors the smell didn't come back. Good little set of shops to choose did from just across to the road. Large area for kids to hit cricket ball or kick to kick. Skidding doors of room opened it so I could see kids in the pool. They have a shared games type of room with table tennis set. Everything in the run worked although a revamp would make this so much better. All in all was an enjoyable stay.
