On road trip down south so wanted good place to stop to sleep and break the journey. This was a great choice and right on the beach.
The owners were just delightful and made us welcome on every way.
Some good eating spots close by. Definitely one to recommend and return back too.

The sea views were beautiful. The managers knew about the town and area. Very friendly.
Bed was great.
Disappointed with no pool.

We had an amazing stay here. It was just a quick stopover, but we will definitely be back! It's such a perfect spot—a beautiful path along the water, close to everything, and so much more to explore than we originally thought, thanks to the owners' recommendations!

We stayed in room 6 and had a beautiful, uninterrupted sea view. There is no road between the motel and the sea, which made the location even better.

Our host was most welcoming, accommodation clean and everything was as we expected. Bed very comfy and decor lovely. Being right by the beach there was a good view and an easy stroll to the jetty to fish plus a few cafes etc.
We booked the family suite as the photo made it appear that there was a separate extra bedroom. This we required for one of us to conduct private telehealth sessions, however the walls don't reach the ceiling and the wide entry has no door - just a note for anyone requiring extra privacy.
