Very well run, clean, tidy, etc loved my room, convenient, with dining nook, kitchen, cutlery and table ware, microwave and minifridge. Parking was ample and convenient. Only drawback for light sleepers, the location right off the main road could affect some.

The motel is a long way out on Beach Road so if you're not prepared to walk into town every day you will need a vehicle. There are restaurants not far away, and it's a short walk to the New World supermarket. I found the room to be very clean, the staff to be very accommodating and the kitchenette well appointed.
The motel has a lovely view of the mountains.
