I enjoyed my stay very much. So much so that I paid for extra night. The beach is just across the road. Everything is within walking distance. Lots of food options. Staff are friendly and approachable. I'll definitely be going back.

I wasn’t going to write this review because the girls in reception were the only aspect I thought was ok with the disgraceful experience. Are you really serious about charging $230 a night for this garbage.. truly ?? 1) The bed was an absolute disgrace and should’ve been thrown on the tip years ago. I now have a sore back after trying to get any sleep on that disgrace. The springs in the mattress must have given way years ago . I find it hard to believe that no one has else complained. There was only 1 extra pillow in the wardrobe.. quite alarming for a $230 a night motel?. We couldn’t use the aircon because there was no controls in the room and the ceiling fan didn’t have a low setting. The toilet seat doesn’t go all the way up. If you’re sitting you need to lean forward because the seat hits you in the back . If you’re standing you need to hold the seat so it doesn’t fall .. again , I can’t believe no one else has complained. The shower/ spa looked unclean . The room door doesn’t have a tight seal.. you can see light coming from the gap to the hallway and the noise from other motel guests comes straight into the room . Room 5b floor 1 is a complete shocking disgrace . We didn’t even have a room with a view of the ocean . I will not be back and I will not be recommending this motel to anyone that asks me. I don’t even expect a reply from you guys as I believe you must be getting reviews like this all the time. Not a happy customer ( prior customer)

Lovely modern room, had everything thing I needed including a some laundry detergent dishwasher liquid, coffee, tea sugar and milk provided. Did a late check-in all went smoothly except the fob to garage didn't work, but there was parking available not undercover and was immediately sorted by reception no fuss when I talked to them next morning. I didn't feel the need to ring after hrs Pros: Air-Con, clean and well presented, tv in both lounge and bedroom, large bathroom inc waser and dryer. Ample pillows and blankets comfortable bed. Heated spa by main pool. Location cross the road to patrolled swimming beach and of course Friendly helpful reception staff. Cons: I had to go home eventually.

1.the place is a rabbit warren with doors and stairs up & down everywhere and very easy to have no idea where you are. 2. Room had no table to eat or drink off; or any suitable area/table/desk to work off. 3. The small spa bath was a 'death trap' with a very deep to get in, no handles or rails, nowhere to seat; and so for the same reasons, very difficult to get out safely. 4. The small fridge is a disgrace - no shelves in the door at all except a bottom shelf that only had a 2-3cm rail so you could put nothing in it (and as mentioned) there were no other shelves; and the other shelves in the fridge were also dysfunctional heights, partly because of the totally useless door. 5.There no actual CHAIRS to sit down at (and as mentioned no table either) - just two old barely adequate lounge chairs.
