Tropucana motel is actually a great place to be before starting a journey to the great ocean. Beds are comfortable and room heated and insulated. The pool is great amd relaxing. I've enjoyed the heated spa in the evening and it was just perfect despite the cold weather. Staff was nice and helpful. Highly recommend
