We were pleased that once we realized the toaster was faulty it was quickly and easily swapped out for us.

Beautiful beachside stay, warm staff & comfortable beds. Fabulous value for money & memories!
Pros:

Considering the amount of people we had with us children included, The room and sleeping arrangements we're super comfortable and spacious.The shower was AMAZING The view was outstanding, truely and we hadn't even booked a balcony room even the carpark had the most magnificent view. Horses in the paddock right next to the motel are super friendly. Right on the beach, no faults at all.
