The bedside tables and lamps were dusty. Corner of microwave door broken which did not instill confidence to use it. Site show pool on site, which was dirty and unkempt - definitely wouldn't swim in it. For $210 per night, I would expect far better.

Located right across the beach was beautiful, having our own car park was a bonus as well not worrying about what time we returned to the hotel. They were happy to allow us to check in late by leaving the key under the mat which was we were so grateful due to us coming from 5 hours we didn't stress rushing to get their. :) 10 stars

Surf City Motel and Bombora Dining

Needed somewhere to stay overnight, that was near good dining, preferably with views. Surf City ticked all boxes. good rooms, quiet and only 2 doors away from Bombora eatery and bar. Meals were delicious both dinner and Breakfast enjoyed overlooking parkland and beach. Will definetly stay at Surf City and revisit Bombora again.

Rooms are basic but have all you need. Could do with more attention on the cleaning though, especially at $290 a night on a public holiday.

There was everything you need from a motel, but the carpet was very stained and the air conditioner and mattresses could do with an update, but overall a neat, well located motel that met all expectations.
