Beach lodge motel

Beach lodge motel

10/10 Excellent
"The staff/owners are absolutely lovely. Our rooms were great, clean and fresh. Lovely water pressure in the showers, and nice and hot to warm the bones. Laundry facilities available which came in handy for us. Nice and close to everything, withing walking distance to the beach where you can see some seals, and food. We booked a return stay on our trip and was not disappointed! Definitely recommend this place for a place to stay, even if you just want a weekend away. 10/10!"
