Curio Bay Salt House Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The executive apartment was very large, comfortable and immaculately clean. The deck had beautiful ocean views - we saw a fur seal and penguins right from our deck. It's within walking distance of the penguin viewing area and petrified forest. It is a perfect place to enjoy Curio Bay."
