We stayed here for an overnight stop. The motel was very clean, our room was big and comfortable with a great shower and balcony. Wests diggers is very close for dinner, although non member rates for meals were quite dear. The motel had a nice looking pool and parking was easy. Area quiet. Would recommend a stay here.

One Night Stay at the Bay

Just a one night stay, accommodation very comfortable and convenient to Wests Club and Little Beach. The club has very good meals at reasonable prices and is a very short walk away.

Comfortable and quiet stay in Shoal Bay

We had 3 nights here as as base for the Tomaree Cpastal Walk. Very comfortable, quiet and spacious. It's looking a bit old but it was clean and had a small kitchenette with sufficient equipment for our stay. A few minutes drive to Shoal Bay itself. Had some cheeky feathered visitors in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.
