Excellent value for money
Recent road upgrades to the port make it a quick trip to town or there’s a bus stop almost at the door. Walk to small grocer and variety of takeaways or walk west to a great bakery
A lot of the original resort is used for longer stay accomodation popular with tradies and temporary workers so it’s pretty quiet during the day
It has a great pool and bbq area very well maintained
The rooms although dated are very spacious and clean with plenty of desk space and outdoor balconies
Although the rooms are non smoking the general smoking area is on the south side so ask for a room on the north side if don’t like smoking
If you just need to do some business in town or want a budget basic option Gateway is a great choice

Great quiet location - perfect for me
It was surprisingly quiet considering there are a lot of units there, mostly residential. Close to main road but thick glass kept room very quiet which I didn’t realise until door was opened. Easy access to bus stop and IGA otherwise hire a car as city centre is 15 minutes away. Family trip not tourist trip so perfect for me.
