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.

We stayed here after a wedding. It was just an overnight stay for us, so we didn't get to explore to much but it would be perfect for a longer getaway to explore the Peninsula! Great little renovated motel!

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.

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

Disliked: Staff & service

Need better customer service

The room was renovated and clean . I only had one bad issue and no customer service, you the contact number and no answer and leave a message on their service, i receive a response 2 to 3hours late . We had a issue with one of the rooms that very loud noise and yelling for over 3 hours. Can not contact management at all so we had to call the police .
