Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was lovely in terms of the service, location, clean room and nice relaxed motel. We loved the food at the restaurant it was next level. It was so close to walk to the main beach and we caught the tram for .50c outside the motel to Cavil Ave which was so easy. Highly recommend this place for a cheap comfortable stay.

Family getaway

Amazing. The location, being able to cross the road and jump on a tram. Walk to the end of the street for the beach. The convenience shop and the restaurant attached to it was delicious and so friendly. Can’t wait to come back!! We did washing and drying there. My kids loved it.

Liked: Amenities
On the same property as an Irish pub so lunch and dinner's if one is open to restaurant dining is extremely easy to get to full stop there is a private car park underneath the motel rooms. The car park is admittedly difficult to get in and out of however having secured parking complementary to the hotel was amazing. The brooms were as you would expect on the price for sub everything was clean but there are no frills or luxuries in the rooms. Felt comfortable and with the security level provided. Overall very happy with our stay full stop the low location alone makes it worth the price.
