Really impressed with everything about our stay at Waterfront motor inn. We reserved the spa ocean view room and it was amazing! Immaculate and spotless! The owner was very helpful and paid attention to detail. They left a water bottle and 2 glasses in the refrigerator in advance of our stay. The bed was very clean and comfortable and the shower had great pressure! If back in Australia we would definitely stay there again!

From the warm friendly welcome to the well stocked room to the pre-heated bed. What isn’t to love about this place. I’d also recommend a visit to the brewhouse down the road!
