Don't be fooled by the outside, doesn't look flash, but the room was clean, tidy, freshly painted and well presented. Queen bed was comfy, big sliding door with security screen made it airy. Clean hot shower, soft towels. It has Microwave,cups, bowls, plates and cutlery. We booked literally last minute arriving about 30mins after booking about 6pm, so was no special time to prepare. Right across from the beach and about 10min walk into town. It was a surprise.

View of water was not beach front but at sde. Curtains in the room were mouldy. Room had no window except in bathroom which was so tiny - only a metre wide. Door to room opened onto verandah also approx a metre wide and people walked past to get to the front to see the view so no privacy at all. Would have been better off in a caravan - go to Beachcomber where rooms do face the water!!

Great over night stop

On road trip down south so wanted good place to stop to sleep and break the journey. This was a great choice and right on the beach. The owners were just delightful and made us welcome on every way. Some good eating spots close by. Definitely one to recommend and return back too.

Lovely Stop-Over

We had an amazing stay here. It was just a quick stopover, but we will definitely be back! It's such a perfect spot—a beautiful path along the water, close to everything, and so much more to explore than we originally thought, thanks to the owners' recommendations!

We stayed in room 6 and had a beautiful, uninterrupted sea view. There is no road between the motel and the sea, which made the location even better.
