"Very spacious, clean and comfortable room and very convenient to eateries and tourist attractions. Lovely helpful and professional staff who gave informative advice on what to do in the area."

"A very cute little spot, We stayed on the upper level. There is no elevator , but it's not needed because it's just one set of stairs up to the balcony! The room was lovely, very cute duvet set and bigger than I had expected. Stayed for one night, perfect location for walking around the town centre! Would stay again!"

"Good location, reasonable noise levels, comfortable accommodation."

"The room matches what listed and quite, the only issue I had was no staff on the site, sofa bed issue was resolved after few messages and sometimes, Steve sent a nice lady to come to resolve. The motel is vey close to beach and have very good view"

"Stayed at one of the ensuite cabims. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, shower water pressure was fantastic & facilities within the park were also excellent. Happy to recommend."

"Good value for the cost."
