    We greatly enjoyed our spotless rooms. the staff was accommodating. - This was a great location close enough to the sea, hitting the sea-wall at high tide, as well as the beach in St Clair. - Close to local restaurants and bars.

    The location was marvellous and brilliant, so close to popular St Clair beach and great restaurants. A convenient area for walks along the foreshore, in a great area. - It was approximately a 5-minute walk from Saint Kilda Beach.

    We had an amazing time at this oceanfront hotel. the location was perfect - it felt like we were so close to the sea that we could almost touch it! the views from our room were breathtaking and we enjoyed watching the waves crash on the shore. the rooms were comfortable and clean, with excellent bathroom facilities.

    The sheer curtains in the living area were quite dusty and needed washing.

    Stunning Views and Complete Relaxation Wow! I had an amazing city trip and an incredible stay at this motel. the location is simply perfect, being a little far from the city center, you can only hear the sound of the waves and watch the endless sea. the bed was very comfortable, and I loved that I could lie in and watch the sun rising over the sea. the apartment had everything I needed for my stay, and I even got nice complementary treats. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering good advice on local eateries and attractions.

    A Bit Inconvenient Location the only downside of the motel's location was that it was a bit far from the city center and some key attractions. You need a car to get around quickly, and it might take a little longer to reach the shops, but the drive is worth it.

    We loved this hotel's location by the ocean and the nearby restaurants. The hotel facilities were great, with a spa and BBQ area. The staff made our holiday easy by being helpful and friendly. The free wifi was a hit with our teenage kids.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    Spent my Christmas at a hotel with a magnificent view of the ocean and it was breathtaking! The unit was cozy, very spacious, and decorated with style. It was equipped with top-notch facilities to guarantee a comfortable stay. I also enjoyed the convenience of having several restaurants nearby, which served unique and tasty meals. To top it off, the staff was helpful and made me feel very welcomed.

    The unit's patio furniture and railings were worn out and needed some repairs. some facilities required maintenance, such as the heaters, as they were rusted.
