We loved our stay there as everything was so clean, the bedding was extremely clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was so quick and efficient for travellers, no need to queue and no wait time. We were able to park our car just in front of the room which made it easy to carry our luggage in and out. Thank you Island Palms

We were looking for a clean and comfortable place to rest our heads at night after fun days out and about. It met our expectations based on price and photos. Handy location near Woolies, not close enough to walk to the beach but an easy couple of minutes drive. Would definitely stay again.

Nice hotel, huge room with patio out onto the grass. Across the road from the shopping centre and near the hotel but still very quiet especially at night. Well equipped room with toaster, microwave and kettle and plenty of tea, coffee, sugar. Very clean motel and grounds. Nice friendly and helpful staff.
