Very clean motel rooms, comfortable bed and everything you'd need for a few days. Location is good with a bub and a bar two minutes away More

Only stayed one night but the motel had everything that we needed - so highly recommended for a base. Try the Green Dolphin Cafe next door for dinner but you may need to book as its probably the most popular in town. More

A couple of kilometres out of town, but no problem as loads of free parking. Small outside space, with no privacy. Some nets at the windows would have been good.... More

Some might find the location a bit out of town but that is what we wanted. This area is quiter and a pleasant walk to the seals. Ideal to do the Peninusla Walkway.

Although the accommodation is not 5* in the traditional sense it was absolutely 5* for us as a family. We were upgraded to... More

Easy going, nice place in the right spot. LP recommended it and we totally 100% agree with it. Walking distance form the seal colony and very good restaurant.
