 Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good
"The motel was very clean and Cosy on a cold winters night. Please note there is no reception open after 3pm. We had difficulty finding our room because the details had been sent through via a different website, which we weren't aware of."

Tides Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location with only a 2 min walk to the Main Street. The room was nice, clean and warm and the staff very friendly and helpful. My only complaint was my room was below the stairs to the second level and I could hear everyone walking up and down the stairs which interrupted my sleep. Avoid room 50 at all costs."

Century Park Motor Lodge

Century Park Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Century Park Motor Lodge. We booked at the last minute and were only there for one night, but the service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. When they realised my dad has trouble with stairs, they generously moved us to a more suitable unit at no extra charge. It was a small gesture that made a big difference to our stay. The unit was immaculately clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our daughter especially loved relaxing in the spa bath after a day out. The location was also ideal, with shops and attractions just a short drive away. What stood out most was the genuine care and friendliness of the hosts. They made us feel well looked after, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!"
