10/10 Exceptional

A quiet property and close to cafes and shops. Secure as room key needed to access laundry. The pines have now closed out most of the view of the ocean but a short walk along the various paths at the back of the Motel will keep you satisfied. We walked along the wall to the navigation beacon during the day and then next night. Take a torch with you.

We were only there for one day but all the staff were friendly and helpful. Check in and out was easy and quick. While it might not be the newest place in Port the rooms are comfortable, clean well appointed and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Finally, it’s within very easy walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurants.
