Liked: Cleanliness
Staff & owners are friendly, but the facilities are old and shabby. Bathroom needs major overhaul. No hairdryer. Not worth premium rate charged.
Motel style accom. Had all necessary equipment for a 2 night stay. Renovated bathroom was superb. Very good value for the price ($113). Easy walk to beach front & main street.
Room was a bit dated but very clean and spacious. It had everything I needed including a great spa and a very comfortable bed. If I’d stayed more than one night I would have made use of the fridge, microwave and small kitchen. Very convenient location and friendly, easy checkin/checkout experience. Would definitely return.
Great property with a lovely pool. Walking distance to the beach and shops. Lovely room with kettle, toaster and microwave. Excellent place to stay. Thank you
We found the outdoor furniture around pool unsafe to sit on and broken.
Unsafe including gazebo and fencing around BBQ area,
Noise water and pumping systems can be heard from other rooms
Location was walking distance to shops and beach.
Easy to find, comfortable, clean with everything that is needed for an extended stay. Owner was so kind and very happy to help us with a couple of requests that we had.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was acceptable. The car parking situation was poor as oversized trees have made parking spaces unusable with raised surfaces of bitumen (30cm) at edge of space rendering it unusable. Other tenants cars are parked in available spots leaving the last with nowhere to park. I arrived back from working at 11pm, too late to advise reception & therefore left without accessible onsite parking.

Spa and comfy bed, could do with fresh coat of paint and new carpet as there was a burn mark in my room on carpet
Quite room just there for 1 night do ok for that
My vehicle is a large ute and my parking spot right against a tree which made it difficult to keep far enough away from the next car. Need to address this .

We had a wonderful stay at the Coachman! Clean, the staff was very hospitable, and the location was perfect!
Older, well maintained motel style rooms with good features like sink and refrigerator. HVAC system a little too noisy. The staff were welcoming and helpful.
