Stayed here and honestly—hard to beat waking up this close to the water. Location is unreal. You’re basically right on the beach, so morning coffees hit different when you’re staring straight out at the ocean instead of a car park. Room was clean, tidy, and had everything you need. Nothing over the top fancy, but comfortable and does the job perfectly. Bed was solid too—no complaints there. The best part is definitely the view. You can just sit out front, relax, and feel like you’re actually on holiday for once (not just pretending you are). Staff were friendly and easygoing, check-in was quick, no stress

A modest family run motel, but very well run. A friendly greeting at check in. Comfortable suite, with kitchen, microwave, fridge, kettle and all cutlery, plates etc. SPOTLESSLY CLEAN and neat! Lovely sea view from the slider doors/patio. Two TV’s. Guest laundry facilities on site. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel.

We had a very nice room on the ground floor on the beach front. So the view is lovely, The road was a bit busy at times but didn't effect us. It did get hot in the room if the drapes where open but the AC would rectify that quickly. The motel is very well maintained.
