Rooms and property were very clean; it's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in their lodgings. Right near center of town and beach, everything within walking distance. Will definitely go back whenever I return to the area!

On my arrival late in the day it was wonderful to enter a warm and cosy studio. After whale watching in the very cold conditions at Cape Woolamai in the afternoon I was happily surprised the heating was already on. The King Studio was comfortable, well equipped, clean, quiet and conveniently located only 400m stroll from the Cowes shopping strip.

The process was just so easy booking in with the Seahorse Motel. We were kindly allowed to check in a little earlier than the requested check in time which was very helpful. We know where to stay when we return!

Noisy
Unfortunately, the room was opposite a BBQ area, which a large family took over for the day and evening, There was a lot of noise, late into the night. The room purported to have a kitchenette, but this consisted of a fridge and a microwave, so not really adequate.

Great place to stop on the island
Great little motel in Cowes. We wanted to stay on the island to watch the penguins and it worked wonderfully. We walked into town for a drink in the afternoon. It wasn’t a lot of bustle but it was close. It was clean and well maintained
