This is a wonderful motel. We’ve stayed here 3 times and will be back in the future. We stayed in one of the Driftwood apartments, overlooking the water. The views are lovely. There is a kitchenette and it is also close to Four Square and various restaurants. The rooms were very clean. You can hire kayaks for a reasonable rate and there is also free games to play. The only improvements I would suggest are harder mattresses (especially for the double bed) and air conditioning, as the rooms can get very hot on a sunny day.

Needed a couple of nights escape away and this was a perfect solution. Virtually on the water, spacious, beautifully presented and ultra clean with all mod cons. - fully equipped kitchenette, induction hobs, fridge, microwave and all utensils. electric blanket, zillions of TV channels, great wifi, and easy no contact self check-in, but staff available if needed. Thank you team, your preparation of the unit and attention to detail was 10/10.

lovelly setting paid a bit more to get a unit right on waterfront good upgrade. place is being updated, we got one of these units, lots of new outdoor furniture & private patio to enjoy. Strange self checkin due to covid, never seen this before nice art on the walls for sale, good touch. wifi was terrible, I thought it was dial up. Speed has been chocked & coverage is very bad, nothing on patio. you must already know there is an issue here

We stayed in a second floor room overlooking the harbour. Lovely view and handy to the general store and restaurants. However, the rooms are getting a bit old and tired. Clean and comfortable, but wind whistled through gaps in the windows. I was ok with walking up the stairs but they were a bit slippery when wet.
