Outstanding, modest little gem: great value for money; comfortable; very clean and recently updated; our room was quiet and secure; air con worked well; well-appointed for a one or 2 night stay with bar fridge, crockery / cutlery / glassware / bottled water / little treats / tea, coffee and milk / toaster / microwave; very friendly staff on check-in; great wi-fi; free on-site parking. Honestly, leaves other motels to shame - THIS is how it's done ! Would highly recommend. Thank you

A lovely quiet spot just a couple hundred meters off the beach, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers. The tram doesn’t go all the way, as it ends at Pacific Fair, so prepare to Uber!
