Blue Hills Motel
Fantastic value for money, location is actually excellent being out of the centre but still close. Neighbourhood perfect for some nice and interesting walks. I would definitely stay again. Down to earth, modest, but has everything for a couple of nights stay.

Clean, very well run, lots of practical spaces, kinda a home away from home. Vibrant, mix of international and Aussie guests. Quiet, respectful.

Salamanca Terraces
Room was spacious & had most of the things you need. Overall rooms are due for an update as floor tiles in kitchen & bathroom were cracked & chipped. Kitchen cupboards also need a few additions like microwave containers, oven trays etc. But overall great location & would recommend.
