Cheap motel in desperate need of renovations. There were bags of laundry left next to our door, so it wasn't a great impression. Nor was the animal skull under the patio table. Then the kicker is when you leave you are required to wash the dishes & take out the trash otherwise you will be charged. None of these requirements are advertised before you book. Also the reviews stating how good the host are all fake reviews! All communication is via text.

Not the Park Royal but 5 star Quirky and Unique decor, contactless check in had me puzzled at first but easy to master. The room was more spacious than most motels, very comfortable... The lake and the beach right at your back deck, stunning views. Kayaks and bikes available for use. One of the best stays we've had in Tassy

This property has a great location! View is beach, uninterrupted. However, the property is showing its age. Dated decor, plumbing needs work, but clean so that was good. Driveway off the street is quite steep angle, be very careful if your car is low to the ground! Self Check-in was smooth.

The owner Shelly was amazing. Shelly's communication and hospitality was second to none. She went out of her way to help my elderly father who made a mistake in a booking and did it out of kindness. Can't recommend Pelican Sands enough. Great job and we'll definitely come back. 👍

On first appearance it seems like they are upgrading the front of the motel. I believe it was very messy when they bought it and it is still a work in progress. The rooms are immaculate. The view took me straight to our private balcony. Absolutely stunning view straight across the lake to the sea. I’d heard some people caught a kg of prawns in the lake in front of us the day before. The King size bed was the most comfortable bed we’d slept on in our whole trip. Extras pillows if we wanted. Nice size lounge/ bedroom. There’s a local wine you can buy in the room. We would totally recommend staying here. Shelley was extremely helpful and welcoming.
