Wonderful place to stay. Great setup and are sorry to be on a limited timeline as it’d be a great multi day stopover. Make sure to visit Buchan Caves and of course spend time on the beach.

Only stayed 1 night en route to NSW, but staff were friendly and family room was clean and very convenient. Decor was charmingly a little old school, reminded me of motels from when I was a kid. Our room with adjoining bedroom slept 7 (we had 5). Motel provided milk and cookies on arrival and there's a Woollies just up the road.

What a unique place !! This is a proper vintage 1960s motel That being said it was one of the cleanest places we have stayed in on our 3 week road trip It had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. We chose the king size Bed the linens on it were fab. The bathroom is dated like the building itself but once again spotlessly clean and perfectly functional The owners who were very friendly brought us some fresh milk and home made cookies Unfortunately we arrived late so did not see the outside facilities Excellent value for money Would definitely stay again
