Lovely location near the beach, with shops, bars and cafes within walking distance. The room was spacious and clean, looking forward to staying again soon!
Our room was on the 2nd floor and there is no elevator so it’s kind of hassle to carry up all our bags
Other that everything else is fine and we like it
I thoughly enjoyed the Wave experience, I'm definitely going back in the near future. Thanks once again. Jonathon

Room was big and very comfortable, however somme items in the room looking very "tired" and ready for replacement. Minimal contact with staff, they did not interact with me or appear friendly at all.
Amazing place to stay, <1 minute walk to the beach, clean, large rooms, great service, great use of technology for the keys to the room doors. My only complaint was that the electrical switchboard made a buzzing sound and as it was in the bedroom it was a little annoying when going to sleep.
Great location close to the beach, supermarket, shops and eating options. Great to have air conditioning and a kitchen, this motel is great for families and for exploring the beaches in the area.
On arrival, parking was available and check in was easy.
The room had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. The spa bath was fabulous. We'd stay there again.
Amazing refreshed rooms, with great staff and moments away from the beach. Had a little road noise but really cannot complain it was such an awesome spot!!

Like the digital door locking system.
Everything was good and the men behind the counter were very pleasant and helpful. Clean, well equipped and comfortable. Thank you.

Pleasant staff easy check in and good location but the property could do with a good clean to get rid of the green slime on stairs and leaves in the corridors …

Nice clean room. The hallway outside room was a bit dingy looking so was surprised to have a nice room.
