Close to a great restaurant. Across the road from waterfront park and swimming. Comfortable bed. Big room. We've stayed twice now, and I've rebooked for April. The lady from the restaurant, who checked us in, was just lovely and very helpful.

Shower recess old and had black marks in grout, which could have been mould, but could just have been age. For the price, old is good, but mould is not. The bed was comfortable, but being on wheels with no headboard attached, it kept moving away from the wall when we wanted to sit up.

Location was great, room was spacious and clean. Serviced everyday, clean towels, bed made, bathroom cleaned. Bed was super comfortable and it was great value. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay at Shoredrive motel again.

Only very very minor observation, for those who don’t travel with their own toiletries, soap for the hand basin in the bathroom would be handy, otherwise you would have to use shower gel to wash your hands.

The people here were amazing. They offered me so much support when I had a bit of an issue which required the ambulance. Management came and seen me the following day with a bouquet of flowers as she had heard and it was such a lovely thing to do for a complete stranger it was amazing. Great venue close to everything awesome food and beach across the road with the swimming enclosure. The pool was just what I needed that morning it was lovely clean and cool

Exceptional location - right on the strand, directly across the road from the swimming "lake" area on the beach, and also a section of the beach with stinger nets. Also playground right across the road (and it seemed like there was a different playground every couple of hundred metres along the strand too). Lots of dining options close by, and supermarket 3 mins drive away (would have probably been a 20 min walk). Brilliant value for money, rooms were large and comfortable. Check in was very easy. Lovely aircon and showers. Microwave, toaster, kettle and crockery/cutlery in room.

Nothing - thought it was really great value for the price we paid. Check in area is sometimes not staffed which could have been a problem when we locked our keys and phone in the room, but the staff at the restaurant right next door were happy to let us in. Carparks directly out the front of rooms which meant you could hear cars arriving and departing, but wasn't an issue for us.

Amazing location and very easy to get around. The stand, beaches and rock pool are very close, and it is a short walk to local bus stops. Rooms were clean, neat and tidy. My room was also available early which was very handy.

The bed was a little too hard for my liking and the 2 seater lounge was lacking in support - not comfortable at all. The noise of cars leaving once the the restaurant closed at night was also distracting.

Great location, right on the Strand. Room was large with a queen bed and a single bed. There was a small fridge and microwave with kitchenware which was convenient

Bathroom space around the sink and shower was quite small. Pillows need to be replaced with new ones. Additional lounge chairs around the pool would be great as there were only two and they were occupied by a couple the whole afternoon.

Fantastic location. Reasonable prices. Staff are so friendly and accomodating. Basic rooms are clean and comfortable. The ocean view balcony is absolutely fabulous - spacious, comfy beds, large bathroom with all amenities etc. large balcony is perfect to relax on in the afternoon as it is shaded and has a great sea breeze.

Would be perfect if breakfast was available on site, but there multiple places within a few minutes walk so may not be feasible.

Helpful friendly staff, great location by the Rock pool and beach. Quiet room. Good parking. Kitchen facilities in room. Clean & tidy. Good price for location.

Shower not as large as some but it was a budget room. Longer walk to hotel and supermarket. That's about all though.
