Nice and convenient - right across the road from a lovely beach that was perfect for kids. Crystal clear water and loads of little sea critters to spot in the shallows! Reception was lovely and very helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable.

This property was clean, walking distance to beach & pier, cafes & restaurants. Great spot. Hot water shower tap needed a lot of turns to start. That’s the only negative and it’s a tiny negative. Toaster, coffee machine, kettle, microwave & fridge covered everything really. Room was a good size too. Definitely be back.

Newly renovated rooms are great, well equipped beyond normal motel standard. One item lacking from "queen" rooms is a chair, they have a couple of small stools, which aren't great for an old man. Good beds, good shower. Outstanding value for money.

Parking at your door. All rooms on ground level. Family room had seperate bedroom for children. Seperate toilet to bathroom. Across the road to the beach. Best cafe/restaurant 4 doors along the street. I deducted a point because in the longe room is a sofa bed which is a bit uncomfortable to use as a couch. Would prefer a 2 & 1/2 seater couch and a chair. We will definitely be back

If you are looking for clean, modern and smart accommodation on the peninsula, you cannot go past the Keith Motel, and do not be fooled by outside appearances. The rooms are trendy and immaculate with good sized smart TVs and excellent Wi-Fi reception. Management cannot be more helpful, even though they are not situated on premises. You pay a little more to get a lot back in return
