Great location by the beach we stayed in a family room and it was well set up and much larger than we anticipated. Loved the common areas and inclusion of plates/cutlery etc had a great picnic dinner at the tables outside just wish there were some bins or a bigger bin in the room for the rubbish.

We stayed here after a wedding. It was just an overnight stay for us, so we didn't get to explore to much but it would be perfect for a longer getaway to explore the Peninsula! Great little renovated motel!
