A bright comfy room with good quality bed/sheets, large TV, and best of all pet friendly! Very convenient fenced courtyard off the room with chairs to soak up the Sun with your fur babies and relax. Minimal kitchen but a Microwave etc. and nearby Blairgowrie shops and Cafes. It was quiet and staff very friendly, helpful for any requests. Would definitely stay again!

It was my second stay at this property, both being at this time of the year with cold days and wet nights. The room was very comfortable and most importantly clean | tidy and warm with great heating and electric blanket which was an added bonus. Thank you and will be back again next year.

The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The manager was helpful and kind. We had a great sleep. The motel has a comfortable lounging area in the yard, and is just across the street from the beach, so it is in a great location, and well priced.

Clean room, friendly staff, pet friendly location. Maybe could have used real grass instead of fake grass in the courtyard connected to room as the scent of pet waste was apparent. Otherwise everything else was great.

Seamless check-in and it was warm stay. There's a bit noise from outside between 9-10pm like operational noise from generator or pump which might from the gas station next to it. Except the noise everything was great.

Quite a lot of noise can be heard from the petrol station next door and the main road. However, great value for money. Rooms were clean and tidy. Highly accessible to major areas of the peninsula and nearby the shops and beach.

It was only 4 minutes from The Baths. Great location. Quiet. There was just a noise like running water the whole night. One tiny bug in the bed but nothing serious. All in all, I had a good stay. I loved that it had all I needed for my short stay.

Well located, many beaches and restaurants near by. However, located on the Nepean Highway where audible fast moving traffic and cars filling at the petrol station next door starts at 4am and slows down around midnight. Family rooms face the road. Traffic noise is particularly loud in room 8 on the ground floor. Mia very kindly and empathetically moved us to another quieter room making it possible to sleep after the first night. But this was after some persistence at the front reception who first offered ear plugs, then asked 'what were we hoping for as a solution' to the loud traffic noise.

Lovely spot, bright and cheerful

Clean and comfortable with lots of added touches like ear plugs although the area wasn’t too noisy. Great cafes and supermarket just down the road and on the bay so lovely location to take a walk. I loved the real plant growing in the bathroom. My one negative was that the tiles in the shower were a bit slippery which I think Was from too much cleaning product

I loved this property. Amazing price for the location. I loved the contactless after hours easy entry and numbered carpark right outside the door. The room was renovated, exactly as the photos show. Very well designed and had everything you need. Large TV with Netflix, microwave, cutlery and plates. Very clean room and bathroom. Nice large shower with lots of water pressure. Definitely recommend and I will stay again.

Location and value for money

If you have a back room it’s quiet despite the highway outside.Location is perfect as it’s close to Blairgowrie shops, the beach across the road and a quiet garden out the back. The motel like room is small but very well designed to make maximum use of the space. Everything we needed was provided.TV doesn’t get ABC properly.
