The property was great and staff were friendly, the only issue was that the rooms had very limited storage space, perfect if only staying a few days but we were there for almost a week and basically had to live out of our suitcases. Overall we had a great time.

Lovely motel

This motel is lovely. Although a little out of the way (we had a car so everything was easy) it’s a beautiful spot overlooking the water. The motel itself is refurbished with hints of retro (love the orange accents) Our room had everything we needed to self cater, and a short drive to some fantastic dining options!

I stayed here twice 2-3 years ago and it was all very good and clean. Not so anymore. In the upstairs room 5 of the heritage cottage I found the following: Light switches were so grimy I had to clean them. Bench was dirty and sticky, I cleaned that too. Bedside table had something white spilled all over the front of the drawers, I cleaned that too. Cupboard wall next to bin and walls next to kitchen area were all dirty with things that had been splashed/spilt. Window does not fully close. Pedestal fan was very broken and literally fell apart when I picked it up, it was then a balancing act up against the wall to use it, along with the wooden floor that is bowing and uneven. It was at least 30 celsius in the room on this day/evening, there is no aircon. There was hair on the toilet and the toilet paper on the holder had no cardboard centre, looked like it had been wrapped around the holder. Shower glass was filthy. The cups and glasses were dirty and there wasn't a single fork. But the best part? As another reviewer also stated, I too found drugs in the cutlery drawer, indicating that this room had not been cleaned properly if at all, in some time. I put my own towels over the bed and pillow, had a nap and left just before midnight. It seems there has been a change of ownership and this particular building out the back is clearly not being well maintained. The pool has several green, slimy looking patches. Disgusting, will not stay ever again.

Hair TONIGHT. Be gone tomorrow

To be honest. I don’t even want to stay here but had already paid and can’t deal with staff. Trying to come up with excuses as to why this is an okay standard. Second room over two night both pretty much the same. Cheap yes. But cleanliness should be priority Hair in beds and bathroom. And small Kitchener covered in coffee and other guests food. Is not okay regardless off price. Won’t stay again after this reservation

The windows need a good cleaning and the shower basin was in need of a good scrub. The basin in bathroom is blocked. A very noisy apartment as it appeared that everytime someone flushed a toilet in the building, we had the rushing water noise in our wall. And that was all night. There was also no shortage of dust and fluff. The manager was good, but his cleaners need a good rocket. The main upstairs entrance door was like operating a combination lock and I observed quite a few people stuck outside trying to manipulate the lock.
