nice hotel
The hotel was value for money and quite comfortable- although with no aircon (there was a fan) the windows needed to be open to cool it down a bit on warmer days. There were some friendly little beetles that took advantage of this and needed to be relocated outside.

Good value for money.
Older style motel in a reasonable location. Walking distance to the beach, local RSA, Thai restaurant and large New world store across the road.
Motel unit was large (Queen bed in main area and 2 singles in a separate bedroom). Kitchenette was good and nice patio area outside. Beds a bit soft and uncomfortable and curtains in bedroom too short- lot of light from dawn. Good parking outside room. Got used to the trains nearby as stayed for 4 nights. Owners very nice. Really good value for money

Property needs more heating and bathroom needs heating and a fan. 1 oil heater was enough to keep the place warm. Lots of condescension.
