Everything was lovely in terms of the service, location, clean room and nice relaxed motel. We loved the food at the restaurant it was next level. It was so close to walk to the main beach and we caught the tram for .50c outside the motel to Cavil Ave which was so easy. Highly recommend this place for a cheap comfortable stay.

Family getaway

Amazing. The location, being able to cross the road and jump on a tram. Walk to the end of the street for the beach. The convenience shop and the restaurant attached to it was delicious and so friendly. Can’t wait to come back!! We did washing and drying there. My kids loved it.

Only problem was noise.

The room itself was great, nice and clean, and the location was amazing. My only problem was the bar at the motel, it was so loud most of the day and early night, especially when they had live music. I couldn't relax in my room because of that.

The location is very convenient - walking distance to surfer's paradise, and steps away from the beach! The pub located in the hotel is also delicious. Make sure to check their daily specials and try at least once while you are there. If you are arriving late, make sure to call the hotel in advance to arrange a late check-in!

Proper friendly hotel

Booked as it was cheap for an advanced booking, thought would be an OK place to sleep. Room a bit worn sort of rustic but great bed, nice bathroom working AC and fan lovely little pool Best of all a proper pub, good food and the staff really make it. Pub closes at 10pm so not that noisy given its main road location. Garage car parking included
