We stayed for one night. Looked good in the internet and a good location. Reception girl was friendly but when we went to the room it all changed. Weeds around pool, you could hear other rooms going to the toilet, workers were noisy, quilt in the cupboard hadn’t been washed in ages and smelt and the mini fridge rattled throughout the night.

Old, rundown style motel
Old, rundown motel style accommodation. No coast hangers were provided and even if they were, the coat rail in the closet was broken. Other items in the bathroom were mission such as the soap dish in the shower recess. The only redeeming feature was the bed which was quite comfortable.

Awesome place. 5star shower. 5star bed. Clean as a whistle. Thick walls & quiet. They Upgraded us to an apartment. Everthing worked like it shouldve. 3 star resort so didnt expect gold fittings. No faults except by outside services, blame main roads for potholes & roadworks & blame Telstra for crap reception & internet. Would like motel to fit security chains on doors & upgrade TV's to SMART TV types so we can view apps by subscriptions.

Nice park area to look out on at the back of the resort. Studio room was nice but would have liked a bigger kitchen area. However it did have a microwave, jug, toaster and a very small fridge. Library was nearby.

We were happy to see our unit had a washer and dryer. The air conditioning was only in the living room which made for an uncomfortable sleep.

The Resort was clean with easy walking distance to the shops and beach. The pool was basic but it was nice. The Resort bedroom we stayed in had a ceiling fan that would only go one speed flat out and sounded like a helicopter in the room, so we had to sleep on the couches that where uncomfortable and didn't get much sleep for the 2 nights we stayed. Also the oven wouldn't turn off after using it and we had to ring after hours number for someone to come help fix it, luckily he came quickly and was able to fix it for us.
