Lovely beachside motel
We appreciated the easy check in and the room had was lovely. It felt like it had been recently renovated so everything was clean and modern. Comfy big bed, free parking and walkable to town. As far as motels go this was a pretty good one.

It is an older property which has been renovated. It was a cost effective place to stop so we could do the Whale Watch thing

Good value for money. The veiw of the beach on a nice day is unbeatable. An older establishment but it served its purpose well. Good value for money.
