    We booked the room with Seaview but we were allocated a partial Seaview unless you stand at the balcony the whole time then you get to see the Seaview.
    10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
    The motel is very strategically located, just a short walk to the shops and cafes, which made getting around so easy. The owner was very friendly and helpful, always happy to assist with recommendations. The room was clean and well maintained, with nice luxury toiletries provided. The bed was very comfortable, and we had a great night’s sleep. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.
