The place worked out great. It had comfortable beds, good heat on a cold rainy day, right next to the ocean and parking right outside our door. We didn't have any issues hearing neighbors, just the train that went by a few times at night. But it was perfect for being close to our tour with The Dolphin Encounter. I would stay there again and recommend to anyone needing a place to stay.

Absolutely perfect stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the spick and span unit. Excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds. We loved our brief stay here. The units are fully equipped for meal prep and the New World Supermarket is 200m away. Town is a really pleasant 1.5km walk. The property has direct access to the beach and coastal walking track, the train line is adjacent for train spotting. On site laundry for a very reasonable price. Picnic tables tables for alfresco dining. Don’t change a thing !

Beach access is through the back gate of the Motel, which is fantastic for surf casting (good fishing spot), picnics, and walks on the beach. Walking distance to supermarket. Very clean, and well presented.

The room was nice, nothing super fancy but the kitchenette had all you would need. The location is nice, you can't see the ocean but it is a very short walk to the beach (across the seemingly rarely used train tracks). It is 1-2 km from the center of town. Overall, very good value!

Nice location, beach access through back gate and a park for the littlies. Looking a bit tired, could do with a new bathroom and double glazing to stop all the condensation. Also the Sky TV wasn't set up properly, one channel had no sound. Channel numbers all over the show! Surrounding grounds were tidy and plenty of parking.

A family type management was friendly. The location is away from the main part of town, but walkable and could be a positive if you want a quieter stay.
