"Owners are lovely. Great value for money. There are stairs you need to walk up. Despite the mixed reviews. We enjoyed our 3 night stay in a private room. It's basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for. Would definitely stay again."

A beautiful setting on the waterfront yet you still felt you had privacy from the public.

The big open windows in the room were great to watch the sunrise/set. Need to be careful with little ones as they can climb the chairs and potentially fall out of windows.
All in all, was a great location especially with the beach and ocean spa across the road.
Neat and tidy venue with a nice restaurant to enjoy a quiet drink or two as well as dining in meal options.

Staff were very relaxed and friendly upon arrival and room was ready and very clean. Did not use the cafe this time but car parking was accessible and always found an empty space. Very easy to walk to local shops and cafes and room was serviced very well.
Another nice stay

This motel and its sister next door the Beachfront motel are perfectly situated .
We took the Seaview option with spa amazing view stunning room very comfortable super clean and well serviced.The staff very accommodating. It’s in walking distance to the main area of town and superb local cafes and restaurants. We could not have chosen better and will certainly revisit. Very reasonable rates we stayed in May and the weather was stunning .
We would highly recommend Shoreline motels.
