Handy motel
There are 2 Blue Marlin motels. Nos. 4 & 13 Buffalo Beach Rd. The photo on Hotels.com page is from 13.
No4 is an older place, clean & well equipped but floorboards are squeaky. Not so good in a downstairs unit.
Apart from that handy to town centre &over the road from beach & walkway

Over night stay was fine, it did lack certain utensils which were supplied in other accommodation we have stayed in.
Our 1 bed unit was a good size and location was on the outskirts of the town centre . The unit we were in was set back from the road with another building in front but because we were on the first floor we did have a view through to the beach.

The location was absolutely perfect! Straight across from the beach and walking distance to restaurants, bars and cafes.
Main downside was being in a downstairs unit the footsteps in the floor above us was hideously loud. All we could hear late at night and early in the morning was stomping and floor boards creaking. Would definitely only stay upstairs if we book again.
