My husband and I stayed here on our drive between Melbourne and Sydney and absolutely loved it! The two women that own and run it are wonderful. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed and included fun added touches, cookies to greet us! Location walkable to great restaurants, the water and shopping. I highly recommend it!

Stayed in deluxe queen room for an overnight stay. Room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, easy parking right outside the room and quiet at night. Handy kitchen utensils, plates, cups and nice to have the coffee pod machine. Lots of little extra touches to make us feel welcome. Staff were friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy doing what they do. Would recommend this motel. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

The property is Kept very clean & tidy. The 2 ladies running the property are very friendly and helpful. We have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit all over the world & we have found that it's the little things that make all the difference to our stay. Fiona & Shawna add that personal touch, that little something else with daily homemade treats left in your room in stead of the ubiquitous little pack of mass produced cookies for your tea and coffee. That's what makes the difference for us. Thank you very much ladies.
