Think twice before staying here. Very noisy. Close to amenities which is great. Next door to a patrol station, coles and a pub. (Good luck when the piss pots come home)

Clean and quiet place. Convinient to go out for small grocery shopping at Coles. Close enough to go to any beach nearby. Only Air-conditioner and cooktop does not work well. Air-conditioner is not strong enough to keep the room cool and Cooktop is too weak to cook or boil water.

Thanks for the feedback. Plans are afoot for a major refurbishment, hopefully these issues are a thing of the past. Safe journey.

Pros: The room is quite big for a family room. Cons: Advertised as an accessible room but was on the 2nd floor. Service fron staff both on the phone and in person was not great. One of the many CCTV cameras located throughout the property was outside the bathroom window, I assume it was pointing at the laundry however you could clearly see it from the shower so none of my children would have a shower without the window closed. Once the window was closed the fan in the bathroom could not keep up with the moisture, turning the tiles (which were initially sticky to walk on) slippery, requiring towels to be placed on the floor to mop up. Very basic kitchenette, not suitable for cooking self contained for a family of 5. Fridge was incredibly noisy. Amenities list included a hairdryer however was unable to locate in the room. No Wi-Fi information handed to us at check in and nothing in the compendium so when we returned to the room after reception closing hours we had no way of finding information. General information in compendium was out of date.

Hi Jessica, none of our family rooms are advertised as accessible', they are family rooms on the upper level. Our accessible rooms are downstairs with large parking area, downstairs. Our CCTV cameras are many, but be assured we are not that deranged to have any of them pointing into bathrooms. The basic kitchenette has suited our guests for many years, sorry you couldn't make the best use of it. The fridge is a fridge with a motor and emits a modicum of noise doing it's job, but again, very few, if any, previous guests have thought it necessary to point it out. The hair dryer is on it's bracket on the wall next to the sink in the bathroom, and has been for many years. Wi Fi is available, and you need only ask for password. Most people use their own wifi these days, so we assume that if they don't ask, then they don't need it. The password is also written clearly in our room compendiums. Glad you were happy with the size and spacious family room. Safe travels, maybe see you again one day.

WARNING!!! The Worst Motel, Ever..
We chose Chittaway Bay Motel because of the reviews when we got there we were extremely disappointed. The manager wasn't very friendly either. The parking was very tight. The entryway to the room was filthy the whole time and we stayed 5 days for a family reunion. The room was extremely dated and run down - The lights were all dim; The fridge was rusted; The AC was Yellow (from age); The table & chairs were lop sided and stained; The paint was coming off the ceiling; The toilet cistern constantly ran and the toilet seat didn't fit the toilet properly; The shower door was rusted; Grot and Grime everywhere. Only once did we get housekeeping and the woman, who wasn't friendly, didn't leave us any towels etc, with no telephone in the room I had to walk to the office, it was shut (it was always shut), I had to call on my mobile, a bit later the manager brought towels to our door. Everyday after that the housekeeping just knocked at the door that had Do Not Disturb and said they were leaving do we need anything (one of us was usually in the bathroom getting ready) and she just gave us towels etc and never did our room, I asked on the first morning what time do they usually finish so I could know what time we needed to be out so they could do our room and the (friendly) woman said, just leave your sign on the door when you go out and someone will make up your room. Never once did they take the garbage, we had to clean our own room. This was the worst motel I have ever stayed at.

Hi Anonymous. You put up with this for 5 days? Perhaps a wee hint that you were not happy whilst here could have helped. As you say, yes, some of the decor is a little dated, but it all works fine, and we are very proud of the efforts and dedication of our housekeeping staff. Our staff work from 8.30 daily, and are usually finished within a few hours. Perhaps you could have invited the staff in to pick up after you instead of hounding them away as a nuisance to your schedule? I assume you won't be back, whatever your name is.

Comfort and modern motel. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Everything works just the way they should. Internet speed is a little slow but then it wouldn’t be a 4 star motel, it will be a 5 star motel.

Overall it was a nice place to stay. Table and chairs on the verandah would of been a nice touch. The bed was very hard so didn’t sleep well. Room was clean and tidy just missing a few touches.

Was a 2 night stay for Drilldance weekend training at Tumbi Umbi.A friend came to stay for company.The room was very large and very tidy.Lighting over the kitchenette area could have been better and the freezer did not freeze my cooler bricks but otherwise a very enjoyable stay.
