Good, comfortable property right off the beach. Private, and easy access to road and dining options. Definitely not a motel feel (with individual cottage concept).

Right on the beach off highway 6 and around the bend from the Pancake Rocks and Cave attractions. Room was clean and had bed and separate sitting area. Wi-Fi for us was spotty at times. Nearest restaurant down the road about 400 m where you also check-in. We thought room was fine for a night’s stay.

This ocean front property is conveniently located to Pancake Rocks. The cabin location is ideal for touring in this area. The layout of the kitchen, bathroom, and living space is quite workable. The bedroom is a bit small but had a comfortable queen bed. The staff were very helpful and there was parking next to the cabin. Highly recommend this location.

Great motel. Parking was a little tight but space is limited in this area. Very nice walk along the beach which is literally right out back

Right on the beach although the ocean view from the room was blocked by an armour stone breakwall. Great view from the top of the wall which made a rough walkway along the waters edge.
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

The room was nice and spacious, and the location just steps from the waterfront was nice. Note that the beach begins a few hundred meters further down, at the motel it is just a sea wall.

These are very nice individual cabins right next to the beach. While you cannot see the beach from the units, due to the break wall being in the way, you can certainly hear the surf! The units are spacious and have very well appointed kitichens.
