Nice motel just situated off the busy road but no biggie. Also close to Bayfair Mall and other surrounding shops. Staff very friendly and accommodating and the room also spacious and having the luxury of a smart TV was a bonus as you can use your own device to stream your programs. Highly recommended and would stay again

The property was central for our needs and as comfortable as it could be given the furnishings... we would have liked a comfy chair or two but we sat on the bed to watch the news and that was fine - we made do....The service from the owners was amazing and we appreciated that and we had clean towels every day...

Fantastic stay with 3 young chicken in two bedroom unit. Very spacious, spa bath great with kids, no noise even at peak summer season. Air con would have been beneficial but was particularly muggy and fans available. Also some smoking areas on deck would be great if non smoking given we had to leave windows open at times. Will definitely return...well set up and comfortable stay!

Lady at check in was really nice and friendly. Room seemed quite clean, shower was good. We did not like the rodents running around in the ceiling which kept us up all night. If we didn’t have to be somewhere in the morning we would have packed up at 3am and left. We didn’t get any sleep. Reported it to the office and lady said she would let the owners know, I hope they sort it.

Very close to shopping centre. The road outside is a motorway on ramp, so need to be careful if you have young children. Upstairs and downstairs rooms.
