Little Gem

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Oct 2016
Always worried when booking online that the place will be as viewed online. This place is better. We stayed in the 3 bedroom and it was great. Our adult kids had enough space and we all enjoyed our stay immensely. The location is perfect to everywhere and I was shocked at how quiet the area was being across the road from the beach. Even the pub didnt cause any noise. I would recommend this place 100% and hope to stay there again sometime. They have a resident dog Jasper who is beautiful and they are quick to take him away if Jasper is annoying. Which my daughter would say he definitely was not. She loved him.
Date of stay: October 2016
Room Tip: No tips. If all rooms were like ours you will be fine.

Not worth the $$$. Stayed here with my family for a night and the room stunk and had mould on the ceiling in places. The walls are not brick so you hear all the noise from the rooms next door. The plumbing is very noisy as it is an older place so if the person in the room next door has a shower late or early it wakes you up. Staff are friendly and nice but from my personal experience it needs a good renovation. We have been travelling up the Coast from Victoria and in the last 3 weeks have stayed in over 10 places for less $$$ and better quality.

Date of stay: September 2016

Hi, thank you for your comments, I sincerely apologise for the mould on the ceiling, this has now been treated. The room you stayed in had been scheduled to go off line next month to have some work done on it. Doug and I have been here for 12 months and unfortunately previous owners have neglected it. We have already renovated one apartment earlier this year and we will continue to make improvements to the Motel.

Kind Regards,

Leah

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and it was huge and incredibly clean and well presented. One bedroom had two large double beds and the second bedroom has a queen size bed. The bedding was lovely, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, and massive walk in shower. Our bathroom had obviously been fairly recently updated. My kids wanted to stay longer than our one night - with the beach across the road, a park out in front, a walk to the bowls club for dinner, it would have been great for a relaxing couple of days. The building is an older style motel, with lots of modern amenities.
The beach across the road is really stunning, with wonderful rock pools, and an easy headland walk.

It was a pleasure to stay here for a business trip. The rooms were spacious, clean and central to the beach and little cafe's. Our late arrival was no problem at all and the owner was lovely to deal with. I would recommend this hotel and would return for a personal stay.

This would have to be one of the Dirtiest motels i have ever stayed at in all my travels
on the east coast of Australia . The very unpleasant receptionist/own advised us upon arrival that as we didn't have a credit card we would need to pay a bond of 200 dollars which would be returned upon departure .two weeks later and after a few phone calls .your bond was kept for cleaning .poor poor poor .

Leah A, Owner at Ocean Park Motel, responded to this reviewResponded 1 September 2016

Hi Jerrimy, you were required to pay a bond because you paid with an EFT card, no credit card was provided. Any Motel you stay at requires a bond when paying with an EFT card. Our rooms are cleaned to a very high standard, your claim that the room was dirty is completely false and I knew you would put a review up and lie. I’m afraid you are being very vindictive because you were asked on numerous times to stop smoking outside the room, and to smoke in the designated area, but you chose to be ignorant and ignore our rules. As a result, the room smelt of tobacco which resulted in us having to take the room off line for a night so it could be aired out. We also had to take down the curtains, which were new and have them laundered. We had several complaints from other people staying with us, one sent a text to me advising that they had to ask your partner at 2:45am to stop smoking outside their open window. You had no regard for anyone else. I had never at any time been rude or unpleasant towards you or your partner, your claim that I was, is completely false. Your bond was not returned because of the cost we incurred due to you and your partner’s insistence to smoke outside the room with the window open.

Kind Regards, Leah

Stayed only 1 night - 10 August 2016. Complex is delightfully small - only 12 suites overall, but it provides a nice quiet location for those looking for style without traffic madness and cramped parking. Cabin style accommodation - BUT for older cabins - these were outstanding. Stayed in no. 8 - decor was modern, crisp and clean with 2 big white leather lounges in living area, adequate kitchen facilities and dining area, big comfy and tastefully dressed queen bed in a good sized separate bedroom. Bathroom has large shower and was thankfully larger than a postage stamp! Cabins had verandahs with seating. Outside had a BBQ area and there was also an inground pool. The hostess (sorry can't remember your name) was lovely. Two minute walk will have you at the Bowling club or Pub...OR at the beach. I would definitely stay again....AWESOME SPOT! Congrats to the owners!

Room tip: Eight was GR8!
