The apartment was literally a renovated garage. Still had roller doors on the back side. Grass out the front wasn’t mowed and looked terrible. There was some random frozen food in the freezer. There was an air con unit but no remote control to start it. Supposed to be wifi but would not connect.

Property is near to the busselton jetty and is in a quiet neighbourhood. The quadruple room was a bit small and the mattress were too soft. The kids loved the access to BBQ and the games room ( though the games room really needs a refresh) . Overall it’s a good value hotel and is good for a short stay.

Stayed here during a busy weekend with a concert happening in Bernard Park. Short walk to the venue and if you opened the door you could hear the music but with the door shut it was quiet. Bathroom was a pleasant surprise, very modern with a spa bath. Room was on the small side but for three people sharing for one night it was sufficient. Beds are super comfy and room was well equipped.

A newly renovated bathroom was great but the rest of the room wasn’t. Dirty bottom sheet on one bed. Curtain had holes in it. Various different brands of towels of varying colours, very old and some had holes and some were fraying around the edges.

Cleanliness in the room was questionable. Toilet was dirty, shower likewise and the shower base and floor in the bathroom was extremely slippery when wet - we had to put towels down to avoid slipping over. There was mould in the shower and the grout looked like it had never been cleaned. Curtains in the main room were hanging from the rail with hooks missing - we therefore had no privacy at night if the lights were on. Blind on the front window was torn and hanging loosely. Far too much furniture in the room making it difficult for two people to relax in comfort - bunk bed, bed/divan (with back that didn't come vertical so useless as a couch) and a queen size bed. All white towels were a greyish colour - clean but looking very old and used. I would not recommend this location to friends.

Located quite close to the jetty which was great. Price was very affordable however the bathroom floor wasnt clean, the air-conditioner was very old, loud and smelled terrible when we used it. The bed wasnt made properly (they tried to put the fitted sheet on sideways so it came up in the middle of the night) the bedding also has a musty not dried property smell.

i was very disappointed in my stay. I found my room to be cheaply renovated, the walls are so thin i could hear peoples phone conversations. I found the manor house to be dark and depressing and thought it would have been used as a sitting area so that people could have enjoyed its heritage status. i also found the person i talked to on the phone very hard to understand but the lady i dealt with at the desk did her best as a host and brought me lovely roses for my room. i will not stay here again.

Our room was in much need of an update in furniture and style and matching crockery would have been nice. It felt very mismatched and a little unloved.

Different sort of motel. Check-in was a hassle with only one person checking in and showing everyone to their room. Walk 30-40 metres from car park to room, rooms face a grass area. Room was clean and comfortable but pokey. Quite noisy for our stay, lots of kids running around.

We feel the 10/10 rating for this apartment is way out of line. The bed had not been changed and the staff were extremely rude when asked to change the sheets. Even to the point of coming to have a look where they were dirty. The toilet was full of toilet paper and the seat broken. The entrance was through a back gate passed all the rubbish bins and broken equipment. To book on the rating given was disappointing. Never again.

The Ithaca Motel is an older style motel with character. The rooms are compact but not uncomfortable. They are modern and have all that you would need. The location is close enough to town to be able to walk. The price is excellent for the quality of the room. The mother and daughter who looked after us are friendly and efficient. The daughter even went to the trouble of picking roses from the garden for me to give to my friend for her birthday.
