Stayed for a few nights and no complaints. Great location so City centre and beach were in walking distance. Only minor issue and this is no fault of the property is that it’s on the main highway so trucks rumbling past are notable.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to everyone. The staff are warm and welcoming and the cleaners are fantastic at their job. Whenever we had the door open, we were acknowledged by the staff or other guests walking past. The room was perfect, lots of space, smelt clean, was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Shops were a stones throw away, we didnt need a hire car or taxi to get around. We will most definitely be back, it felt like home! Thank you to the wonderful staff at this motel, we couldn't be happier with our stay.
