The property was great and staff were friendly, the only issue was that the rooms had very limited storage space, perfect if only staying a few days but we were there for almost a week and basically had to live out of our suitcases. Overall we had a great time.

Lovely motel

This motel is lovely. Although a little out of the way (we had a car so everything was easy) it’s a beautiful spot overlooking the water. The motel itself is refurbished with hints of retro (love the orange accents) Our room had everything we needed to self cater, and a short drive to some fantastic dining options!
