My parents were the managers in the 70s (I was 3-6 years of age). It was the Sandy Bay Motel back then. So wonderful to recognise the buildings and remember some of the fun times when I was little. We had several "famous" people stay with us. My fondest memory was meeting Acker Bilk who gave me a ukele. As a 4 year old I was tickled pink! I will definitely be back soon and thank you for so much for the trip down memory lane. 😊

the room was excellent although the carparking area underneath the rooms was extremely filthy and was a smoking area and that smoke drifted into the open windows above. Pretty ghastly for non smokers. The rooms could benefit from some maintenance. but is not drastic.
