We just stopped over for a night on a road trip just needing a place to sleep before hitting the road again. This motel exceeded our expectations. The man that checked is in had the keys waiting for us and was very friendly. The room was roomy and comfortable. It was very close to the main strip so super convenient to go have a run on the beach before heading off. There was a bit of mould in the shower but not enough to be overly concerned. We will be looking for accommodation here the next time we are in South West Rocks.

We only stayed for 1 night on our road trip north. This motel was spotlessly clean. Check in was easy and the only interaction we had with the owner which was very favorable. The room had everything you would want. Would stay there again.

We made a last minute booking and they were very accommodating. The room was spacious and very clean, everything worked, and the bed was very comfy. We could park right in front of our door very convenient. It is a large property so we were able to walk our dog on-leash around the premises without driving anywhere. Overall, although the property is an older motel, it was perfectly clean and comfortable. Everything in the room worked including the kitchen, bathroom and wifi.
