If location is important, I think it is better to chose your accommodation closer to the city centre. The motel is about 1km away from the main bus stop so it was a long walk to get there. The service was good and the owner gave us a lift to the bus stop the next day. Rooms are basic but... More

I stayed for two nights and found the room to be comfortable, spacious and the bathroom was obviously very new. The kitchen was older but very clean and well equipped.

Stayed for two nights in the front 2 bedroom unit. Motel is well located with less than 5 min drive to town or to the seal colony. Room was comfortable and clean.
