What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Currently staying here and we couldn't be happier with the room cleanliness, the staff and amenities. The room is a great size, the showerhead big and the kitchenette has everything we need. The staff are really accommodating and friendly too! Definitely will be back!”
“The staff provides excellent service. They are very knowledgeable in the area. The room was very clean and spacious. I forgot a personal item after leaving and they were kind enough to post it to my home address without any additional fees. Thanks for making our stay so nice!”
“Great place to stay for beach hopping in the area. The room looked a bit dated but seemed clean so no issues there. On site parking is useful too. Owner is friendly and helpful with giving recommendations for things to do and see in the area. Even saw some wallabies outside the motel in the evening.”
“We stayed here 2 nights, I originally booked for 1 night but decided to make it 2. I am so glad we did!! From driving into the complex, lovely maintained gardens and pot plants outside. Cute little kidney shaped pool. We stayed in the Loft apartment. The standard of cleanliness and the decor was pretty amazing. Very quiet and safe. Literally a minute drive around the corner you have Cole’s and some cafes, bakery etc and a lovely little clothing shop. 5 minutes drive from a lovely modern shopping centre for Woolies, Aldi and other cafes, and a variety of shops. Smart TV , rainfall shower head comfy bed, this will be our go to stay when back in Jervis Bay for sure.”
