This motel had a better supply of tools & equipment than usual for a place not actually including a kitchen. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. Good value for the cost.

The room was neat but we had to wash the utensils and cups etc before using them. The bathroom sink drain was very mouldy as was the shower. The dust on the flyscreen was so thick you couldn't see through them in the bathroom. On the upside the bed was comfy and it has full kitchen with microwave toaster etc

Had a comfortable stay at Harbour Lodge.It was a quiet area at the same time near the shops as it is in the CBD area. It is near the Marina ans Eas Shores as well. There was lots of space for parking too. We did a late check in as travelling from the north. Reception was accomodating. It was very convenient especially staying with a baby.
