This property was clean, walking distance to beach & pier, cafes & restaurants. Great spot. Hot water shower tap needed a lot of turns to start. That’s the only negative and it’s a tiny negative. Toaster, coffee machine, kettle, microwave & fridge covered everything really. Room was a good size too. Definitely be back.

The motel has clearly had a fresh coat of paint, but underneath it all, it still feels very old. The room was cold, the mattress and pillows were low quality and uncomfortable, and the noise from the vents made it difficult to relax. Unfortunately, there were also large spiderwebs near the vents in the toilet, which was off putting. Definitely some improvements, but still a long way to go in terms of comfort and upkeep

My room was well presented and smelled really good too; well done there. It had everything you needed. My one and only slight negative is the bathroom size. Quite small really and the mirror above the sink was so low I had to crouch down when I shaved. Okay if you are 4' but hey, the room itself more than makes up for this.

Great overnight or short stay. Property was stunning and loved all the unique furniture. Very close to beach and nice to have The Kitchen so close to pop in for a drink. Would be nice to stay in Summer to utilise the lovely outdoor area

Clean, simple, easy access, no table inside the room, wheres there's one in few other rooms, babe to standing to eat our snacks, but the corner room defiantly the quietest. Bed not the most comfortable, but clean bed sheets.

Nice and convenient - right across the road from a lovely beach that was perfect for kids. Crystal clear water and loads of little sea critters to spot in the shallows! Reception was lovely and very helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable.

Need better customer service

The room was renovated and clean . I only had one bad issue and no customer service, you the contact number and no answer and leave a message on their service, i receive a response 2 to 3hours late . We had a issue with one of the rooms that very loud noise and yelling for over 3 hours. Can not contact management at all so we had to call the police .

If you are looking for clean, modern and smart accommodation on the peninsula, you cannot go past the Keith Motel, and do not be fooled by outside appearances. The rooms are trendy and immaculate with good sized smart TVs and excellent Wi-Fi reception. Management cannot be more helpful, even though they are not situated on premises. You pay a little more to get a lot back in return
