Close to beach and the lake, with many eateries within walking distance. Lovely pool. Unit dated but comfortable, except for very worn couch.

Close n handy to river beach n shops. Didn’t use car for our 4 day stay easy walking. Friendly staff clean amenities and room. Pool a welcome treat n well maintained. Comfy bed family atmosphere thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A clothes rack to hang beach towels n swimwear would have been wonderful however we improvised 😀

We did not book last minute but we had a tiny overpriced room with no designated car park, that looked nothing like any of the photos. We were given a dodgy unmarked area to park, but a rude man with a big boat gave us his thoughts on that arrangement, so we ended up parking in the street. On the plus side the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet and the location good.

Clean and well maintained. Walking distance into town and to the beach. Helpful extras like basic kitchen facilities that put it a step above a basic hotel. Exactly what we needed for a stopover on the drive between the Gold Coast and Sydney.
