Frommer's Review
The focal point of this airy, modern resort-style motel a 5-minute walk from the city center is the friendly communal kitchen that overlooks the palm-lined saltwater pool and paved sun deck. It's a great spot to cook a steak or reef fish filet on the free barbecue and join other guests at the big shared tables. Local restaurants deliver, you can order a continental breakfast for A$9 (US$7.20/UK£3.60) per person, free fresh-roasted coffee is on the boil all day, and a vending machine sells wine and beer, so you don't even have to go down to the pub for supplies! The smallish, basic but neat motel rooms have painted brick walls, terra-cotta tile or carpeted floors, and new bathrooms with marble-look laminate countertops. In contrast, the eight suites, which have kitchenettes, are huge and stylish enough for any corporate traveler. They are some of the best-value accommodations in town. All rooms have a balcony or patio; some look out onto the commercial buildings next door, but most face the pool. Ask about packages that include cruises and other tours.
