"We inadvertently booked for the next night after a long driving day. We arrived at the motel to discover our booking was for the next night. We called the Motel and the person who answered was extremely helpful and was able to get us in that night. We had booked ocean view, but we were so lucky and appreciative that we were able to get a couple of rooms for the night. Would absolutely recommend this motel to anyone. Oh and the towels and showers were the best that we have had since we started our month long trip to Australia. So happy."
