Wow, what a place to stay! The cleanliness and facilities that these rooms offer is outstanding. Great location as Woolies is 1/2 a min up the road and the esplanade is 1/2 a min down the road but it is as quiet as can be as it is not on the main st. It was an absolute pleasure to be... More

Is good as a stop over. Don't walk out at night drive as area is a bit dark and dingy. Good rooms. Clean ish. Stand are really helpful . Parking is limited. Place is hard to find. Cheap. But you get what you pay. Limited photos of motel should set alarm bells ringing. Full of construction workers.

As part of our road trip to see the eclipse, we stayed at the blue harbour. Service was outstanding, we arrived late, but our room was easy to find and so was the key! We had a great recommendation for dinner at the grand view hotel, our room was spacious and very clean. Great towels, great breakfast. Will stay again.

Close to town and after staying in so many drab motels, was a great change of scene. Friendly staff go the extra bit to make things easy, even had mini chocolates waiting on the beds. Spacious rooms seem recently renovated. The invoice was confusing, and on asking for them to clarify it, I was emailed another in the format I... More
