Great beach motel

Very helpful friendly manager.
Clean room, clean linen. Great shower..very comfortable. Aircon microwave..everything you need. Manager happy to help with directions and gave suggestions. Just a safe happy welcoming place to stay.
Across the road from the beach and BBQ facilities. Walking distance to shops, bowls club etc. Loved the relaxed beach vibe. ⛱️
Will definitely be returning. What a great location

Appalling

I will never stay here again. When I checked in the lady behind the reception absolutely stunk of alcohol. Got to my room the toilet doesn’t flush and there’s no hot water. And the bedside lamps don’t work disgraceful.

Worst stay ever experienced.

We entered the property, collected the key, and immediately noticed a mouldy smell upon walking in. During the last week of December, the weather was extremely hot, so I tried to turn on the air conditioning. Unfortunately, it was very old, excessively noisy, and made it impossible to sleep comfortably.
The bed sheets also had an unpleasant smell, which made the situation even worse. Worst of all, the toilet WOULD NOT FLUSH properly. There was also a roller door that was barely hanging; it eventually fell and flipped onto the bed. Thankfully, no one was injured, but it was a serious safety hazard.
I usually avoid this type of accommodation, even when travelling in more remote places, by carefully reading reviews beforehand. However, in this case, I couldn’t find any Google reviews. Now I suspect their listing may have been removed due to poor feedback, as the location is also difficult to find on maps.
When I contacted the manager/owner to request a room change, I received no response. Because it was peak summer holiday season, I couldn’t find alternative accommodation at short notice and was forced to stay the night in very uncomfortable conditions.
When I checked out and raised these issues, the manager and another woman with a dog responded dismissively, saying this was a “budget room” during the summer holidays and questioned my expectations of better conditions.
To the manager and the woman: would you personally pay a cent for a room where you cannot sleep due to smelly bed sheets, a loud and outdated air conditioner, a non-functioning toilet, and unsafe fixtures? Basic cleanliness, safety, and functionality are not luxury; they are minimum standards.
You dont deserve 1/5 even.

Appalling, unprofessional, drunken manager.

What a terrible experience to be greeted by a drunken manager.
There was no parking space for us and my partner has mobility issues. He said when you booking on line, it doesn’t say parking but it does and he wasn’t the car park attendant.He was very abusive.
The room was just awfull,curtains held together by an elastic band, the bedspread was just filthy, very dated, taps leaking and moving round.,no drinking glasses, the list goes on.
Do yourself a favour and DON’T use this place, they don’t deserve to be in business.
