"The shared accommodation was atrocious, room was nasty and not well maintained, walls and floor were dirty. Room needs to be renovated so they'll take pride in keeping it clean. I definitely will not be back nor will I recommend that room to anyone"

This two storey Motel is set - back from the Main Rd around the corner from the lights and hospital. It has a lift to above rooms making it manageable if you have a heavy case.
There rooms are spacious and impeccably clean.
Adjacent to the Motel is a pharmacy and cafe.
A couple of blocks heading towards the city is 2 Supermarkets.
We found this complex a great quiet place to stay in and recommend it, if you prefer to be just down the road from the city centre.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The room was clean and tidy. It has great facilities, small in room kitchenette, pool and bbq areas. Supermarkets and shops are close by and easy access to the motorway, so it is in a great location. The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. We will happily stay again when we return!

Cleanest motel unit we have stayed in for years. Absolutely impeccable. A minutes walk to restaurants and cafes and town centre just around the corner. Quiet, could not hear anything apart from a few rowdy guests who stopped the noise when asked to do so. Very comfortable, been recently revamped. Comfy bed a tad low. Parking is a bit tight but do-able. Thank you for a nice place to stay

The owners are lovely people. The room was the cleanest room we ever stayed at. There are no common walls between the suits so pretty quiet. Parking is right in front of the room which makes it taking things in and out of the car easy. Beds were comfortable and each bed had an electric blanket. Aircon took only 2 minutes to warm up the room. The only downside was having only one sink between the toilet, shower and kitchen. The same sink is used for washing hands, brushing teeth and washing...

Great little 2 person room we stayed in. Modern and clean. Perfect for our one night stay. Straight across road from supermarket and close to the beach.

I stayed three nights at Bay Palm Motel and cannot fault the service or facilities. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. Room was clean, quiet and had everything I needed for my stay. It was an easy taxi ride to the Stadium where my conference was being held and a short walk to the Mall and the beach. I would definitely recommend this Motel if you are looking for somewhere out of the main centre to stay.
