Sorry but must be some confusion as our Towels are all Blue - not White?

3 out of 5
Room was way too small for our family of 5. Two people fine, but not 5. Right on the highway so very noisy with passing traffic. Also on the water & the mud flats stink when the tide is out. Lots of cane toads came out at night (but no one can help that). A cheeky gecko also made it into our room all night and kept disrupting our sleep with his noises. Older building with older bathrooms. No door to the bathroom, just a shower curtain.

Wow. Most folk love our tastefully Retro rooms with real wooden benches, front Terrace to enjoy the water & Island views from our elevated position back from road.with cars undercover at back of room plus a rear door too. Geckos are considered better than those Southern flies.

Staff was very friendly and helpful with anything needed. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms had everything for a comfortable stay. Plus the views were great and information booth next door at the big mango. Will definitely stay again.

Traffic noise and distance from the city centre and beaches were negatives.

We are further back from road than most motels plus our nice elevation appeals to most guests who usually enjoy the comfort of not being in city centre with it's interfering pedestrians. Our million dollar view & sea breezes wins hearts. Best wishes. Regards. Col.

Pros: Beautiful view of ocean from room. Had ceiling fan, louvres for air flow, and security screens. Located next to Information Centre. Cons: No privacy in shower area (I felt very exposed stepping out of the shower into the open passage next to to the entry door). Could hear traffic from busy highway with windows closed. Too far to wak into centre of town (more than 6 kilometres).

We are pleased you appreciated our magic view from our elevated position well back from the road. Unsure why you didn’t relax by locking rear door. Also front door if Partner not with you. Guests love to walk on beach areas as against walking to town. Hope you saw the new art turtle, fish & crab next door with the Big Mango?

We just loved being there sitting out front and looking into the ocean was a treat and relaxing.

Great views

Pros: The views, and the comfortable bed.
Great views, good size room, comfortable bed, home cooked breakfast was awesome and very reasonably priced. Good sized parking space. Even though it is on the highway, there wasn't very much traffic noise. We will definitely be back.
