It was close to the coast line. Very comfortable for the night stop over. Our room had no wardrobe for hanging clothes which would have been handy if staying longer.

Sunset by name .
We were lucky enough to be able to have a studio room which is at the front of the complex. It was large with a modern and clean interior. From the front veranda we were able to sit and enjoy the beautiful sunset. A fantastic place to stay.

Beautiful location, basic accommodation.
The setting is lovely and the sunset was gorgeous! The room itself was pretty basic, but it had what we needed. The kitchenette was well equipped and the equipment all worked fine. The tiny sink in the bathroom was a bit difficult for anything, even washing your hands. The bed was comfortable but a bit worn, so you could sink a bit in the middle. The bbq area outside looked lovely, but we didn’t have an opportunity to use it. The room was clean and quiet.

Amazing stay
We had lovely stayed at Sunset Motel, easy check in and check out, The apartment we are staying is immaculate, big space, there was 4 bedroom apartment, and was only 2 of us, The kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom is clean and very nice. Big plus that they have sky sports channels. And step away from the beach, beautiful sunset view, everything is amazing, 5 min drive or less to the town.

On the very edge of Thames
Unit with sea view had everything needed. There is public parking between unit and sea so towards sunset lots of cars and RV arrived and some stayed overnight. It is a fair way into Thames so if you require anything you need to take your car.
