Positive Reviews

Friendly management and staff

Management and staff are very friendly and helpful. Guests find that their more than willing advice as to restaurants, shops, and attractions in the area is extremely valuable.

A top place for tail-waggers

The real benefit for guests is, they say, the fact that the motel is pet-friendly. Not only is the family pet made to feel welcome, but they can get a regular exercise-fix in the dog exercise area next door. Dog owners, say guests, should not even paws for thought; just book in here.

A quiet, yet convenient setting

The city centre is, guests say, only a couple of kilometres away; and yet, here there is an atmosphere of peace and quiet which is accompanied by feelings of safety and security. Guests are impressed that many attractions such as Brooklands Zoo and the inspiring Coastal Walkway, are around three kilometres or less from the motel.

Negative Reviews

In need of a makeover

Guests say that furnishings and decor are stuck in the mid-1900s. Consequently, rooms feel distinctly dated; plus, there are elements that have been cobbled together in a failed attempt to repair them. Rusting windows and broken curtain rails are among the examples put forward by guests. Guests feel that these issues contribute towards creating rooms that are somewhat dark and depressing.

A noisy neighbouring road

There is a noise problem; the source of which, guests agree, is the nearby road and the heavy transport which uses it at all times of the day and night.
