“Best Value in Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this motel a few times over the past few years. The rooms are clean and comfortable with the little extra's like coffee and making facilities. It is close to town and shops and a short stroll to the beach and marina. The owner made us very welcome and even offered us transportation to the wedding we were attending at the other end of town.
This motel is real value for money if you need an overnight, weekend or longer stay!

“Friendly Owner, Good Location & Excellent Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

people found this review helpful

It's my 1st self-drive trip in NSW with my wife, son & daughter. We were actually on our way to Shoal Bay while spotted this motel. I went to the Reception Office and met with the owner, Tom. After a short chat, I decided to not search for that night's accommodation else where.

Tom has a very pleasant personality and has been very helpful. The Motel is just minutes walk to the Cruise Booking Agency and Ferry Terminal. The room is clean, well decorated and we can see birds playing around the bushes from the Balcony. The bathroom has after-shave as well.

Our only regret is -- you guess... we forgot to take photo with Tom when we left :-))
Will definitely come back.

“Very Pleased - went there twice during our trip...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

My wife found this little gem via tripadvisor and we were impressed by all the good reviews it got - so we thought we give it a try. From the moment we arrived Tom (the owner) made us feel very welcome and we had a pleasant chat. The rooms might seem to some people dated (according to the reviews) - but to me and my wife it had its own charm. Most importantly everything was spotless, very clean and not worn. Considering the price it felt like very good value for money - in fact we were so pleased that we came back for another night at the end of our trip (Sydney - Brisbane - Sydney). We'll be back!
