Bathrooms are commonly described as old and in need of refresh, and several reviews cite maintenance problems such as broken blinds, leaking or dated fixtures, poor water pressure, or occasional hot‑water failures.

Spacious clean and comfortable rooms, in a very old building with no facilities and no sign of any staff. Ensuite was clean and functional but has not been updated for decades. Car park is in need of resurfacing. Location is a little remote from any shopping.

For the prices being charged, this was a very underwhelming facility. Even though it was the Easter LWE, I would have expected the dinning facilities to be open. The room was tidy enough however there was a missing shelf over the very old and dated sink in the bathroom, the hot water tap fell off in my hand and was unable to put back on properly because the thread had stripped and to top it all off, the bathroom leaked from under the tiles out onto the carpet. Then to top it all off, I was in the room where a famous Artist died many years ago!!! I would not reccommend this Hotel to anyone...

Disappointing and way over-priced. Photos were very deceiving. No service at all as there is no reception. Check-in via text only. Needs updating. There was a leak in the bathroom. Restaurant was not open. The only good point is the location, handy to shops and the beach. Wouldn't stay there again.

The property was ideally located for my stay. It was a 300m walk to the venue I attended. The room was clean and had a microwave, plates and cups etc as well as good sized fridge. The bathroom was clean but old and needs some updating. The window at the back of the room could not be latched and there was no safe. As everything was electronic the only interaction I had with the staff were the cleaners who were lovely. Parking was easy. It had an old motel charm about it. Yes I would stay there again.

We thought it was very central to the main street and theatre. Didn't see any staff. All correspondence by email. Room was the closest to the main road. It was tired in appearance. However, it was clean and suited our needs. It was an easy stroll to a little seafood tapas which was YUM. Yes i would stay there again.

Centre of the main shops and coffee bars are walk in distance and beaches some walking distance. The only thing is that the motel is outdated and needs to have some loving Care sheets are clean. Floor looks fine. Carpet looks old a few mosquitoes around the area trying to kill them at night And cockroach just needs to be taken care of. I would say this motel is a three star.

Rooms

Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious or refurbished, though decor can feel dated. Noise and light from the road or neighboring rooms recur for some, partly due to thin walls and blinds.

We were in room 13, upstairs. Front door didnt seal well so road noise and rain was really loud. Full fridge/freezer opposite the bed was noisy and the blinds don't seal closed so the outside walkway light shines through to light the room. Neighbouring room guests were noisy. Couldn't sleep which was disappointing. Aside from that, location is walking distance to shops/restaurants and bed is comfy.

Noisiest accomodation ever. Could clearly here people talking through the thin walls on both sides of room 2, and heavy stomping above in room 12 at all hours of the night. Got about 12 interrupted hours of sleep over the 3 night stay. Wouldn’t recommend.

We needed somewhere nearby Anita's theatre and this was perfect - a 2 minute walk. We were in room 1 which fronts the main road and could have been noisy but the traffic stopped at night so it was quiet while we slept. Although advertised, our room had no microwave and only one mug. I rang reception anda microwave and another mug were delivered quite promply by a friendly smiling staff member. The rooms are a little tired as it is an older motel. We felt that value for money was lacking at $165 for a Thursday night. Covid seems to have increased prices everywhere.

Booking and check-in was all automated on-line and by SMS. It was a very efficient and unique experience. Despite the poor shower water pressure, the unit was well equipped, tidy and very clean. The Motel is conveniently located and within very easy walking distance of shops, amenities and the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

No one to talk to to ask for an extension cord etc as no one on site and no phone number displayed in room to ring. Shower had a leak and flooded bathroom.

Received a message advising of check in details & aircon was running when we got there, which was appreciated on such a hot day. 3 x single beds, mattresses were reasonably comfortable, but 1 bed was located directly under the airconditioner & was blowing straight on my grandson, so we couldn't have it on during the night. Vertical blinds on windows allowed a lot of light in & as there was a lot of noise from the main road. Packets of cereals in the fridge were a nice touch. Best feature of the motel is it's location - walking distance to beach, pool & eatteries.

Bathrooms outdated, basin taps needed to be secured. Blinds facing car park were broken. Chipped mug.

Great idea providing cereal for breakfast.
