Detailed Reviews
We recently stayed for two nights. No hassle check in and found the location handy to places we wanted to go. Family of four stayed in interconnecting rooms. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Even though the motel is located on a busy corner we couldn't hear noise inside the rooms. Our kids enjoyed using the pool and the attached spa. Having access to a shared kitchen came in handy as it saved on eating out all the time.

The room was clean and comfortable. Very close to the beach and shops. The staff were extremely friendly and despite us waking them up in the morning still came out and turned the pool on early for my son. They were very strict on the chemicals in the pool but the pool didn’t smell too strongly of chlorine, which is usually the case at other locations. The water slide was very fun and was a nice bonus. The only unfortunate things were that the breakfast in the morning had potential, however the fridge was not working so all the milk was off. Also, we were going to stay one more night but some smokers checked into the room next door and stunk our room out pretty bad so we decided to leave. Thanks so much guys.

We decided last minute for a quick family getaway out of Sydney.
I rushed with booking and messed up the dates rang the motel straight away and it was all sorted and fixed with no hassles.
Staff were friendly on arrival and showed us around and were very informative.
We stayed in a queen deluxe. Room was clean and had the basics for the night away. Shower pressure was on point and the hot water was Devine.
Pool was clean and still warm enough for a swim.
We had groups of young guys either side of us and didn’t hear a thing, was quite relaxing considering they were fully booked.
711 across the road was handy and the main part of the entrance not to far away.
We stay at the entrance quite abit and would happily stay here again.
Only issues at night nothing on the tv for kids to watch

The lady that met us at reception was delightful, friendly and welcoming. The family room was very small, the carpet was wet and the room smelled damp. The fridge was leaking water on the carpet. Beds were ok but the room was a bit run down and in need of a little TLC.

I have never had such a terrible experience with a motel that cost me $200 per night. When we entered the room it had just been finished getting sprayed for ants and the dead ants were left on the bathroom vanity. Also my partner and I were eaten and covered in bites. Also we were watching cockroaches running around our room. We would not recommend your motel to anyone. Your motel should be closed down and you should not have the audacity to charge such prices.

Parking was not so crash hot, we had to park around the corner as another car park was allocated in front of the room.
The room felt unclean and damp, the cups were dirty and were miss matched like they were picked up in garage sale.
1 singular wine glass for the 3 person room
Tv was terribly small
Bathroom was old, the bolt for the door handle was sticking out as it was cracked.
Under sized towels
The place is overpriced, I wouldn’t recommend staying here

Gentleman who greeted us at reception was cheerful and welcoming. Our room had a double bed and single bed - which was exactly what we needed. Bed was comfortable and there was room for bags. Shower was OK - took a little while to get the hot water. Car parking was clearly marked and the pool and spa were a nice touch.

We booked in at approximately 4:30pm Staff were friendly and that’s all I can say that is nice about this motel. The photos on the internet do not reflect what we walked in on. The decor was old, carpet was dirty, fridge was rusty, shower door didn’t close properly. Hinge on bathroom door was rusty. We decided we wouldn’t be able to sleep in the bed so we left. We paid $250.00 for the night and stayed five minutes. Just don’t stay there if you have any standards of what you need.

Overnight stay onroute to repartriation flight. Easy friendly checkin, marked parking. Very clean with comfortable bed. Plenty of space to sit, tv on bracket so could see from table area and large glass shower cubicle in bathroom. Pity didn't have time to explore area as close to pelican feeding and beaches with 7 Eleven over road for supplies. Easy to find only 15min from M1.

Basic but comfortable room. Bathroom smelled a bit musky
Free continental breakfast was a big letdown. Four open packets of bread with about 6 slices in each thrown into iced up fridge. Kitchen very dirty I took our own plates and cutlery but couldn’t bring myself to eat the cereal
