On first appearance it seems like they are upgrading the front of the motel. I believe it was very messy when they bought it and it is still a work in progress. The rooms are immaculate. The view took me straight to our private balcony. Absolutely stunning view straight across the lake to the sea. I’d heard some people caught a kg of prawns in the lake in front of us the day before. The King size bed was the most comfortable bed we’d slept on in our whole trip. Extras pillows if we wanted. Nice size lounge/ bedroom. There’s a local wine you can buy in the room. We would totally recommend staying here. Shelley was extremely helpful and welcoming.

I'd like to give them 5 stars but they have taken extra funds from my credit card and unable to provide a reason for this. My final invoice from them alao states the overcharge. They advised that it is explained in all the booking details but there is nothing there, the web link they provided on their T&Cs doesn't exist, nor does it directly on their website.

Hi Jeff, the three dollars charged to your card was for the drink in the fridge that was empty in your bin. Two points loss for three dollar charge on your credit card for something you took is very unfair :(

Great property with easy traveling to local attractions. It was nice to sit on the back deck and watch the waves crash as the tide came in. Very happy!

Lovely hosts attending to needs quickly. Comfy king bed was great, lovely cushions and throw rugs, very warm doona. Fluffy towels, nice big shower. Great amenities for self catering and dining setting along with couch. Great large size TV. Wonderful beach front outlook, listening to the surf roll in, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There is a guest laundry with washer n dryer, great to have a clothes rack in the room too for washing. Tea, coffee, milk, kettle, toaster and microwave. The rooms are great, don’t be deceived by outside.

This property has access to the river and beachfront. Amazing uninterrupted views. Cute little rooms. Bed was amazingly comfortable, had a great sleep. Currently they are putting on Solar Panels, and encourage environmental sustainability. Is a short walk to the local pub and a great little cafe. It honestly was a fabulous little find.

Location was amazing, restaurant attached to the hotel was very convenient and a great feed but needed heating. Loved the non-contact check in. Enjoyed the spa although the tv was mounted in an awkward position which made viewing difficult while in the bath.

Glad you enjoyed :) Yes that would be awkward! I may change it to an adjustable arm to swivel that way .. to be honest, I had it ain’t towards the bed as I couldn’t even imagine watching TV in the bath, but what a marvellous idea!! Thank u!!

The toom was clean and tidy but the complex is very old and the drive in area needs to be resurfaced. The fact that they dont have an onsite reception was a nit off putting

The entry code to unlock the door was usually ineffective; it took many attempts to successfully unlock the door. (A key-box would be much less troublesome.)
