We chose a Garden Room ,quiet, clean spacious and comfortable., what one expects for the price. Close to the Grand View Hotel for meals. The only negatives are no parking near your unit, so depending on which unit you are in it can be a struggle with luggage, hence the average mark on service.. Trying to be diplomatic I do feel those of a portly body shape may find the shower a tad claustrophobic, not much room to move. Comfortable bed, quiet location.

Great family run motel

Reviewed By Llewellyn D

This relatively small motel is well appointed with a lot of thought going into the furnishings and even the number and positioning of power points. Beds are large and comfortable and the television in our room was huge. Perhaps their main assets are the owners Kim and Debbie and their wonderful staff who make you feel more like a member of the family than a guest in their motel.

My 11 year old son loved the castle theme. Good sized swimming pool and spa much bigger than most motels. The room was immaculately clean, spacious and modern with an high pressure shower which was much appreciated. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back.

So disappointed

Reviewed By Yvonne C

Was really looking forward to a meal out after being on the road for three weeks. Location was really great but then things went downhill. Took three open bottles to find enough to make one full glass of wine. Then went through to the Bistro, being an ALH owned site wAs expecting at least some standard of consistency. Ordered the Korean Chicken as an entree which was okay, however then cam the steaks, mine rare and partners medium rare. Both were cold on the inside. We all know that meat should be left to attain room temperature before being cooked, well this just wasn’t the case. When asked by the waitress how our meals were, was hesitant to say anything but when pressed, made the comment about cold steaks. We decided to order desserts anyway, and okay these were provided complimentary, thank you. Also as a side note the male toilets were unclean, and untidy, no hand towel, and smelled as though not cleaned properly that day. We travel ten months of the year and really only leave a bad review when more than one or two aspects grab our attention.

Review of the single Cabin

Reviewed By hhx2_12

We booked the single cabin. We received a pin number via sms to get our key out of a key safe in front of the Cabin. Location is great, only a few metres from the Ocean. The Cabin looked clean but is in need of renovation. The ceiling needs paint, the Wall behind the chair underneath the A/C the paint/wallpaper was peeling. Curtain on upper bunkbed was faded. A Ladder to the upper bunkbed started to rust Crockery and Cuttlery was a mix match out of everything and the small Oven was a shocker. The Oven tray still had food or whatever it was in it from years ago. Hotplates were also on its last legs. Would I stay here again??? After Renovations........YES I would give it only 2 stars but another one for a clean comfortable bed.
