The location is terrific ....you literary look over the Ocean from your balcony ...we had an out door spa on the balcony so you could relax with a champers in hand amid the spectacular view ....highly recommend this type of room .... There is also a classy restaurant on the lower level serving high quality sea food again with the magic view ...for those who like a swim there is a 50 m sea pool just 50metres from the Motel .... Rooms were clean and tidy ...and staff very polite and helpful ....over all a 4.5 star rating ...

Firm favourite.

A return visit. A lovely room with an amazing view. Good private balcony which is great for enjoying a drink, cold supper or breakfast. Very friendly helpful staff. Would recommend. Away from the main town so very peaceful. Very convenient for the sea pool.

It was good location. If you want to stay comfortably, an ocean view would be good. I didn't see the room so I don't know. The room we stayed in faced the hallway, so you could see the staff and other guests passing by. You couldn't open the curtains. I don't recommend room number 32. The staff were very polite.
