Linh C.
Sunset over the lake across from the motel was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay overall and would recommend it and come back. Our Studio lake view room had lots of room to move around, a soft but supportive bed, and a fly screen door looking out towards the Pickle Ball court and picnic bench. Breakfast for two included two freshly baked pasties, jam, fresh milk and OJ, all gourmet quality. The rooms and bathroom are fully renovating, and they’ve done a good job so far. A few things could be better: more comfortable indoor chairs instead of picnic chairs, bedside light switches, and somewhere other than the bathroom sink to wash dishes and cutlery. Housekeeping should check behind the bathroom door. A towel had been left there, and the mini bar wasn’t replenished before check-in. We weren’t sure if reception would charge for the missing mini bar items, and the security deposit took a while to come back. Reception is across the road at the Black Dolphin Holiday Park, so clearer signs or a pre-check-in text would help. UPDATE: I got the full security deposit back after sending a follow-up email, about 10 business days later.

We loved staying here for our honeymoon. The rooms were stunning and so clean, and the motel design was by architect Robin Boyd himself. Breakfast came with coffee, a delicious croissant and a jam doughnut too.

An average stay, with issues that seemed easy to avoid or fix. We had two rooms, one renovated and one not. The newly renovated one still smelled of paint, while the older fit-out could have been much cleaner. If not every room can be renovated, at least give it a proper clean, or a little paint would go a long way. The Google Maps pin was in the wrong place because the business had merged and moved elsewhere, and there wasn’t much signage. The deposit also took a couple of days to come back, which felt unusual for a hotel.

The rooms are gorgeously designed, set between the beach and the ocean. Breakfast included a croissant and jam donut, a sweet way to start the day.

The beach is right next door, and both the park and beach welcome dogs. We stayed in our 8m motor home on an excellent site, with really clean amenities. It was so relaxing we added a couple of days, and we’ll be back.
