Sorry but this accommodation was a let down, they have put a lot of effort into trying to make it homely but it just dropped the ball in a few places. The toilet was not clean and it was the worst bed ive slept on in years

Ideal room & nice touches

Perfect stay, rooms clean, tidy & bed comfy with great linen & duvet. The little touches of homemade cookies, welcome note and the weather for the next day with chocolates was a great touch. I have stayed in a number of places in Lakes, and this one is so far my favorite so will definitely be returning.

Was an older apartment - the owners had added nice touches to room, like mini bar honesty boxes and little additions. The air conditioner in room struggled to warm room.

Highly recommended

Easy to find in a good location with so many thoughtful finishing touches, including welcomes cookies and weather info for the following day. Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind to us but we still managed to walk to the beach and we will return if we come back to Australia

Such a happy, welcoming motel! From the beaming friendly staff on reception to the home made cookies in our room and the chocolates on the bed! Lots of little homely touches around the room, I especially loved the native animal pictures. We also enjoyed sitting up in the comfy bed watching complimentary Netflix on the massive tv! Thanks for having us!

Nice place to rest for the night! Staff were helpful and even left a couple of cookies in the room upon arrival with a lovely little welcome note. The room was clean and free parking onsite right outside it was great. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable as you could feel all the springs and any slight movement, but manageable for one night. Good location walkable to town / beach, but far enough that the surrounding area was quiet.
