Disappointing
Pros:

Location. Staff. Bed.

Cons:

The toilet was crammed into the corner of a very small bathroom. Your legs were under the vanity it was so tight. No area on the vanity to keep our sponge bags, had to take everything out and put on a narrow shelf. Very big room yet there was no clothes hanging cupboard. Had to use the ironing board cupboard and take it out but still only a foot wide. No draft inhibitor on the bottom of the door, meant all the smokers using the walkway to smoke, came into the room (at 5.30am!) The walls are very thin. The couple in the next room argued and cried and fought until 3.30am! We could hear every word and scream. Thanks so much room 10 the night of April 21st!! 😬

We booked this at the last minute when we realised we didn't have time to drive through to Sydney. It was a great sp
Pros:

It was clean and tidy and easy to access. Cute decor and styling while remembering to prioritise comfort. Great spot for a stop over on our way to Sydney.

Cons:

It would be great to have a few more savoury options for breakfast but this is definitely not a deal breaker.

Pros:

The room was great, super clean and with lots of retro character - very cute decor. The location was great as well, within walking distance to the restaurants and shops and also 3min walk to the beach. There was a little outdoor cafe right at the motel so we could just pop down to grab a coffee in the mornings, which was super handy.

Cons:

Unfortunately, it was quite noisy at night from the street and also from other rooms.

Pros:

Rooms were beautifully styled and had a very welcoming feeling about them.

Cons:

Not obviously the hotels fault, but the area was incredibly loud and disruptive with loud motorbikes and cars revving and speeding around the hotel at ridiculous hours.
