    Very nice motel. Stayed at the Sea View Suite. Inside must have been recently refurbished. Thoughtful and handy little details. Little kitchen was lacking salt, pepper and oil etc., but other than that well equipped.

    Highly recommend this beautiful place. Very clean and looks like something out of a house and home magazine. Stunning touches and extremely comfortable bed. Ocean views directly from the big glass window of your room. Friendly checkin too. Right opposite on a Saturday morning at 8am at the Tidal pool is the Parkrun. Great 5k and locals are welcoming. So close to drive to wineries and gin distillery.

    Great location, very close to all shops and restaurants. They should remove the 3rd bed for couples to allow for more space. The shelf above the bed needs to be higher to stop from hitting your head. It’s the last thing to have to worry about every time you get into bed.

    Modern Retro

    The location is beautifully by the water and close enough to the town shops and pub to walk there. The motel is older in style and has undergone a significant refurbishment. The furnishing was modern and gave a retro homely feel. The only issues I had were: ~ lower water pressure in the shower ~ the lack of sound proofing in the rooms- a layer of soundproofing felt I've seen in other hotels would be a useful addition ~ no windows- KI is known for beautiful fresh air and I would have loved to be able to open a window or even the door (if they installed safety screen) to have some fresh air in the room.

    Conveniently situated withing walking distance to eateries, we found it a very easy place to stay. Room was exactly as depicted on website, with updated bathroom and decor. We stayed two nights and were sorry to not have been able to get into the on-site restaurant The Odd Plate. While it is run independently from the motel, it would have been helpful for the motel to prompt visitors to book in when confirming their stay. The restaurant is quite small and was in very high demand at the time of our stay in low season, when a number of other optional eateries were closed on vacation. Other than that, our stay was very pleasant.
