Great location. Close to everything in this little tourist precinct. Motel undergoing upgrade and is looking modern inside. Great rates. Staff friendly & helpful. Management considers guest safety with closed gates 8pm and deadlocks on room door. Clean. Free wifi. Clean pool and spa. Parking outside room A 5-10 minute walk to beach, Jetty Rd and shops. Room had toaster but no knives or plates. Could have been oversight. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful welcome from the friendly front office staff. This place was perfectly adequate for our one night stop over in the area. It is very close to a vibrant downtown area by the jetty and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The property is showing its age, and could use a little sprucing up, especially the old carpet. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and well kept. Thank you for a great first night in Australia.
