I booked here, not expecting too much as the price was right. Arrived and was greeted with a very friendly face, and so polite! She walked us to our room, and it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. The pictures online show rooms clad in a lot of wood panel but ours wasn't like that. Sure, it is dated. It is a Motel. It was functional and we had our rooms tidied and fresh towels everyday. We also had breakfast every morning that set us up on our day of sight seeing around the island. We found the bed was amazingly comfortable and the pillows were great too. If people want fancy they need to pay more and book a hotel or a private stay. Don't go cheap then complain it wasn't 5 star! This place was ran by a lovely friendly couple, who were doing all they could with what they had (they are not the owners apparently). It looks like there are plans to bulldoze and build something very very fancy but time will tell. So, book here if you know and understand what a motel experience will be. It's a lovely spot and a 3 minute walk to the beach and where the market is held.…

The first problem we encountered: There was no one in the office when we arrived, though it was before 6 pm. We had to call someone and get them to come over with a key for the room. One of the main reasons we picked this place -- despite the many poor reviews online -- was the swimming pool. My 2 young sons were eager to have a swim. However, we were told: "Sorry, the pool is closed. It’s been closed for a while. There was a crack in the pool." When I asked when it would be fixed, I was told casually "Don’t know if the owners will fix it ...." Then we get to the room, unpack our things, and then get to use our laptops. Having Wi-Fi is critical for us, as we are obliged to perform various business-related tasks every evening. We would NEVER have selected a hotel which does not have Wi-Fi! However, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and again the manager was totally casual about it. He started telling me a story like a junior school student would tell a teacher. I offered various suggestions as I work in IT, and have some experience setting up Wi-Fi sources in Adelaide. However, once again, no luck! We wanted to move but it was now late at night and it was difficult to get bookings elsewhere. Fortunately my wife had brought along an Optus modem which worked OK, so we had to pay for our own Wi-Fi. No offer to recompense us, if course! The room was cold and lacked various things one takes for granted at any motel or hotel, even the cheapest. There was no soap in the bathroom! The heating system was inadequate. The TV worked only sporadically. There were various insects crawling around! Do yourself a favor -- give his place a miss! They are deceptive, rude and incompetent!…

Horrible place, not clean, curtains don’t cover the windows, spot light on all night so no sleep. Creepy lady hovering over breakfast, on offer was white bread, cereal, regular milk, I stand coffee....That’s it! No yogurt, no fruit, no decent coffee, no local produce.... horrid. Mouldy tiles in the shower...I find I can’t say one positive thing about this dump

What a beauty! This hotel, although a little outdated, was the perfect launching point for our three day KI trip Kathy Lou was lovely and accommodating. shots were taken at the end of the road from the motel. A five minute walk.
