What a little treasure?!? Clean, pleasant, affordable, helpful and convenient are great adjectives for our stay.
Will be better once pool area is fully functioning.
Glad we chose this venue and are already planning to return.
Poorly maintained rooms. Misleading photos. Pool was nice

Liked: Amenities
The pool was fantastic. Bottle shop onsite. Opposite the IGA. Close walk to beach and food options.
The floor was filthy and not mopped.
The tap was broken in the bathroom
Beautiful pool.
We were out looking for swim holes but forgot it was summer.
The sunset swim in the heated pool was a beautiful reward.
The kitchen amenities are so helpful too for a motel!! Love our stay here!
Management and staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a laundry and camp kitchen for all guests to use and the attached restaurant serves great Thai food.
The owner Dave is a great guy, the motel is excellent value for money, great food comfortable bed good fridge and TV. I have stayed many times always good.
The worst stay in our travels. Room was dirty, toilet was not clean, cockroaches everywhere. Floor was sticky, fridge had ants on the top of it. Just awful. To later when we arrived to complain it was only one night thank goodness.
