Such a beautiful setup and the onsite facilities were above and beyond!

Mosquitos! We kept everything closed and they just kept coming unfortunately. Nighttime was especially brutal.

Super stylish and comfortable!
Pros:

Everything! We had a girls trip for a friends 60th and absolutely loved this place. Stunningly decorated. Everything was 10/10. Bed and pillows were so comfortable and the shower was divine after our climb up Mt Oberon. Perfect location, town is so small anyway but was nice to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by. The bikes were so much fun, we rode to Venus Bay and back. All in all, we just had an absolute ball and we were sad it was just one night!

Cons:

We loved everything!

Beautiful stay and location
Pros:

Beautiful motel (lovely design - feels brand new). Great location, close to everything. Room 4 was very clean (all of it), comfortable, and cosy. The blackout curtains were perfect for a restful night’s sleep.
The room was well equipped with everything we needed: small cooktop, cooking utensils and some essentials (salt, pepper, and oil).
Air conditioning and heating worked great. Nice bathroom with good quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
The communal facilities were beautiful. Great green areas, two barbecues (tools available), and nice outdoor furniture. Communication with Kate and Dic was easy and efficient, making check-in and check-out very smooth and convenient.

Cons:

The only downside was that the room next to us was quite noisy (large family). The walls seemed a little thin to us, as we could hear most of the sounds from next door very early in the morning.
