We found this motel to be fantastic: Clean and warm, with nice décor. It was easy to find, and the host Lindsay was very approachable, even lent me a large soft top surf board so that I could join my partner for a surf.

We found this motel whilst touring, and although we only stayed one night, it was very comfortable. The room / block we stayed in had just been refurbished, and it was extremely clean and tidy. The check in process was fast and friendly, and we enjoyed our stroll along the street for dinner at the Lincoln.
