Quiet, clean, comfortable, ideal for our stay. 4th visit!
We stayed here for 2 nights and had a pleasant experience overall. The room was clean and well maintained, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient and felt safe, which was a big plus. The pool area was nice and relaxing. Overall, a good stay!
We found our accommodation to be clean, tidy and parking to the unit was accessible.
The motel is away from the main shops but that is what we were looking for. Very easy to drive back into the main shopping area.
We enjoy the quiet and have stayed here before Thank you
Staff were very friendly close to shops and beach not to faraway

This motel should be 5 stars, for service, attention, cleanliness, unreal chef in the cafe… what an absolute gem!
… and value for money is off the charts!
Don’t stay anywhere else!!!
Room and pool area way below standard neglected and in desperate need of maintenance . Expedia should really check their accomodation listings

Disliked: Cleanliness
Concerned about the laundry. Linen (bedding and towels) a bit smelly, are they using enough detergent to wash items?
Room a good size and comfortable, site/location handy and quiet.
Cafe onsite a bonus.
Clean room, quiet and safe, easy for check-in. I will recommend Ocean Crest for our friends .

It’s a basic property but in a great spot. We came down to do a triathlon having double booked the weekend with WOMADelaide. That meant we arrived late (after 9pm) but check in was still easy. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a one night stay. We left at 6am next morning. The kids always love the chance to sleep in bunk beds and our bed was fine.
If you are looking for five star amenities, then go elsewhere. If you want a classic Australian country motel, somewhere to sleep for a night or two passing through, or an affordable family vacation, then this could be your place. A solid 3 star venue.

The room was comfortable. Extra pillows and blankets in the cupboard are helpfull. A room appointed for disabled persons is a good idea and disabled parking near the room is a blessing.
Parking easy, we did not use air conditioner. Getting water for kettle not easy, had to use a cup to get to the tap in bathroom. There was no tea towel or anything to wash plates ect. I was surprised to see a toaster and microwave which would have been handy to know.
