    Truly magical location, how beautiful it was to fall asleep to the waves and to wake to the sunrise right on the beach. Incredibly comfortable beds, rooms and overall motel. Loved being able to walk to everywhere we needed - especially the restaurants nearby and the fish and chip shop just around the corner.
