Nice location, lovely view of ocean and very quiet room. We only stayed overnight but it would be a great location for a holiday base to do day trips from.

I found the room comfortable. The TV was not working well, but the manager changed the batteries in the remote and it was okay. The booklets and the shampoo were out of my reach and the towel rail in the bathroom was missing.

Nice hotel, easy to get to.
The hotel was comfortable and very clean. This includes the bathroom which I couldn't fault. We were only there to sleep and left early in the morning the next day to get back to Melbourne but for what we needed the accommodation was fine. The TV's worked, the beds were spotless, the room smelled of lavender, a bit overpoweringly so, and the room was spacious enough for our family of four. Even the room rate was more than reasonable. We were only in the room from midnight until 9am the next day so we didn't use the wi-fi, or the kettle or any of the other facilities so we couldn't rate any of that but as I said, for what we needed the room was more than adequate and we've stayed in some very nice hotels in our time. The grounds were tidy but unfortunately the stair well leading to our room was used by Smokers as an ash tray. It's funny how only smokers think that smoking isn't really, really, really gross. Anyway, as I said our stay was comfortable enough and yes I would recommend this motel to my friends if they needed somewhere to stay in the event Guns 'N' Roses is doing a show at Adelaide oval where they play many of their hits and only a few of their, 'Why the heck are you playing that?' songs. The character limit for leaving a review on this website is extremely excessive, I can't believe I still have 9 characters to fill at the end of this statement. Bye.

Great for a large family
We stayed overnight and were amazed with the rim. Interconnected with a queen bed in one room and 5 singles. Would be very handy for larger families. We were pleasantly surprised
