A basic motel that has some maintenance requirements. The cleanly off the room and the property generally needed improvements. There was a domestic in the room next door at 5am and nothing was done to deal with this incident by any staff nor did QPS attend.

The staff member I saw was lovely, friendly, and polite. But the room looked nothing like the photos on the website, and I'm not sure if all the glowing reviews were in a different much better room, but the one I had was smelly, and dirty, the door rattled wildly, the bathroom window had a screen area that was broken, there were spider webs, and a grubby mark on the wall where the pillows touched it, inside the cupboards smelt, the fridge smelt, the carpet was stained. It's a place to sleep if that's all you need, but it is not a good place to book for a holiday.

After a three night stay , The mattress in room 10 on the first night , I could feel the springs and there was no internet or cable tv plus the room smelled strange on arrival ,I thought there was a turd left in the toilet. room 3 & room 4 were better , better bed better smell too . Over all it wasn’t an unpleasant stay it was pleasant apart from room 10.

Clean, Comfortable, Great location

Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.

Cost friendly compare to other accommodations, but only 12 parking spots for entire motel. Also need to improve on pest control, found so many cockroaches in the room, but have to say for the price it’s acceptable.
