Fantastic location! Can’t get any better- literally 60 steps to the beach! Staff were very friendly and helpful- especially helping with car parking as we had boards and a ski on roof- they made sure we felt secure and offered alternative parking if we didn’t. Room had a little kitchenette which was so good. Bed was comfortable, it’s an older motel but they have updated it so feels fresh and modern. Will definitely book again

A very well located property. Quite dated though. Needed a broom in the room as sand was easily transferred into the rooms and no way of sweeping it up.

Economical accommodations and a great location!

We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!
