Beach lodge motel
Old-skool motel. Like a 50s TV drama, but that was a massive joy. Roomy and bright. Spotless and friendly. And the beach just across the way to add to the relaxation. If you want pampering look elsewhere. If you want to be chilled you won’t go wrong here.

Staff very helpful and our studio room was very comfortable. The bed was super comfy. In the bathroom was a washing machine and tumble dryer. Ideal if you are travelling. The food for breakfast and evening meal was delicious. Excellent breakfast choices.
