Simple clean room, all amenities provided

Great for the price, comfy bed

Clean, friendly staff and in the room everything you need for a short stay.

Very nice ..stay again ..

The check-in experience certainly could be improved. Perhaps make an attempt to make it a welcoming - rather than inconvenient - experience. After all, you’re in the business of hospitality! Arguably my own lapse for not inspecting the room first, but the property’s definition of a “cabin” is vastly different to the norm. Picture more like a plain, stark, small room in a series of rooms along a demountable, not the traditional image of a standalone, quaint or rustic cabin. Of course, there are more luxurious options here if you want them (and the photos of those hint that it would be quite nice). Nonetheless, it was clean, reasonably quiet, the bed was comfortable, and it served its purpose in keeping me dry for the night during a downpour.

Great location with updated room and thoughtful amenities! Only recommendation is a small table for the area next to the bed. Will definitely return!

Nice little motel with helpful staff.

What a lovely place to stay. The rooms are beautiful, and the beds are comfortable. Plenty of space to park your car, trucks or trailers. There is a bbq area next to the pool. Short walk to the shops, golf course, restaurants or the river. A must stay if in the area.

Handy place to stay

Nice stay

Good value for the price - is a fine place to stay for a one night pit stop.

Clean and comfy

bed was good. No staff available, office shut kiosk check in only with printer broken and screen dirty. Had to ring and leave message 3 times to try and get a tax invoice as travelling for work.

Very small room infested with ants. Horrible chemical smell when I arrived (air freshener???). Prison cell type bathroom. No staff at reception.

The staff responded very quickly when we needed help unlocking the bathroom which had locked from the inside with no one in there. The shower is excellent for beach goers. It is large with two shower heads which is very handy for washing sand filled hair! The mini bar and fridge were well stocked.

Stayed in a family room with double bed and twin bunks. The room was clean and modern. The bathroom is huge with walk in shower and bath, which is good for kids. The downside is that it eats into the space for the kids bunk area which is very pokey. No couch and a tiny dining table. A little planning and forethought and you could've had a nice smaller sized bathroom with a good size bedroom with an entry door for the kids. Received a text a few hours before we arrived to say there would be no one at reception due to a "critical staff shortage." It came with instructions to access the room and that was all OK. But when we arrived we went to the pool area with the kids, carrying two bottles of water and the last two pieces of our peanut brittle from our long drive. The manager (we assume) walked across and without introduction said to my wife, quite rudely, "Can you not read?" She pointed at the sign on the pool entry which said, "No food or drink in pool area." My wife, taken aback, said they were just bottles of water. To which the manager said, "You'll be surprised what people put in their WATER bottles!" The manager's approach was totally unnecessary. Made us wonder if the critical staff shortages had anything to do with how she speaks to people. Left a sour taste for a family paying top dollar for a very average place in peak season. Saw the manager's partner (we assume) in the pool area with two large dogs later. Water, no. Dogs, yes?! Will not be back.
