We booked this motel as our son was staying there also. Having a trailer on wasn’t great as not a lot of free parking and motel only has car parking. Had to go up stairs to entrance and to our room which isn’t a problem for us but could be if bad knees or hip etc. very friendly welcome when booking in. Was shown to room which was cosy with heater on. Nice clean rooms. Would definitely stay again. Easy walking distance to jetty road with plenty of lovely eateries. Check out doughballs near the delicious chibo coffee.
