Great
JJohn AndrewFantastic location in the Orara hills
The Santa Fe cottage is wonderful with an open fire and cosy decor
These are fully self catering cottages so you need to bring food but everything else is provided including firelighters and matches.
Order your Firewood in advance from the office.
Thoughtful touches like fluffy dressing gowns and a rug for cuddling up on the sofa much appreciated
The Owners are friendly and helpful thanks so much
Only small point is the WiFi (no signal at all at Santa Fe cottage and poor throughput even if you go nearer to the router).
HHaley & MichaelGreat place to stay, not too far from the highway! Friendly staff were welcoming & smiling. Easy to follow explanation of how things worked & basic run down of rules! Small area to navigate, especially to walk around! All features & amenities are great , wit
h all essential amenities provided , that you may require when staying away on a holiday!
GGuest UserHotel location is good, close to the beach, you can watch the sunset at night. The room is large, clean, can cook, kitchen utensils are very complete,
The service staff is enthusiastic.
GGuest UserThe apartment is quite old and has a dated feel, but it was clean and well maintained. The towels and linens were crisp and spotless. The location was convenient for shopping and dining, though it’s not next to the beach. It suited our needs well for a stopover, but I probably wouldn’t choose it as a holiday destination. The owners/managers were excellent communicators and very helpful whenever we had questions.
GGuest UserThe apartment was clean and the rooms pretty spacious.
It contains everything you need, including a big fridge and a dishwasher.
The check in was quick and easy, we arrived one hour earlier and the apartment was already ready for an early check in. Location is great, walking distance from the beach and places to eat. I definitely recommend it
GGuest UserThe room was clean and tidy. The air con was cool enough. The wifi was stable. The owners were helpful. I arrived the motel 2.5 hours earlier than the check-in time, and the room was already available for me.
GGuest UserThe location is convenient because it's only 5 minutes away from old and new town, also not far from diffent beaches. Staff are friendly and helpful. The motel is old so don't expect a luxury stay but room size is good. We saw some huge cockroaches inside our room one after another so that was a bit frightening. We'll stay somewhere else if we have options because the cost for our stay was nearly $300 a night.
GGuest UserWe booked on short notice and was able to get a pet friendly room for a 1 night stay. The room was clean & comfortable. The facilities were very good. The manager? on the desk was a lovely lady, very friendly and a great personality.
The noise was a bit loud from the highway but by 11pm it had settled and only heard a bit through the night.
I think it is amazing to even have a pet friendly motel and I would gladly stay there again.

GGuest UserBasic hotel room, no air conditioning, although not needed this time of year. Older style and the room is small. All good for a one night stop while driving north or south. The small bathroom and shower were super clean. Strangely there is no basin in the bathroom but there is a kitchen sink in the bedroom, however there isn't a kitchenette. Having said that I would consider staying there again for the right price.
