The motel is next to the beach. Unfortunately, my room does not have a sea view. The room is spacious and clean. Wifi is good and there is Netflix.

The rooms were well appointed and clean, beds were very comfortable, perhaps a couple of towel racks in the bathroom to hung your towel up after showering would be good idea. Easy walk to the cafes along the esplanade.

Motel with a great location on the waterfront near to, but not in the main town which meant it was quiet. Rooms appeared to have been recently updated to a good standard. View from balcony was fantastic. But best to make sure you are on the top floor. Room was clean on arrival, but will not be cleaned for the rest of your stay. The only issue we found was the smell of cooking oil and fryers wafting up from the seafood restaurant on the ground floor.

The property is ideally located across the road from the beach. The views were excellent the room was clean but the bathroom had sand on the floor - location hazard I guess.

our room was not cleaned. When we checked in - found toilet was not clean properly. After informing this to the staff it was cleaned. Then found dust every where. On the wall, door bed side table, tv cabinet. Floor didn't look like was mopped for awhile. My feet gone black when walked on the floor barefoot. The room had excellent ocean view from the room and balcony and the location was great.

Relaxing Getaway
Ocean Front is a little hidden gem in a quiet part of town close to all amenities, This is our favourite place to unwind, relax and destress. Sitting on the balcony looking out at that breathtaking view of the ocean is just so calming. We always book the external spa room which adds that extra special touch! What more could you ask for than relaxing in a spa with a drink and looking out at the ocean? The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and always make you feel welcome. The room is a good size and very clean. It has a comfortable bed and adequate bathroom. The balcony deck could do with a little upkeep to make it look perfect. We will definitely be returning again soon.

Blue Bay Ocean Front Short Break
Overall our 3-night stay was enjoyable, with a gorgeous ocean view, courtyard and patio, firm bed mattress, air-conditioning and Netflix availability. The room appeared to have been renovated reasonably recently, with rich colour scheme and floorboard-look floors, though the undercover carpark could be refreshed. Room acessibility involved same-floor access from the carpark, except for a single step at the doorway. The bathroom had a sliding door, and generously-sized shower with adjacent toilet and sliding door shower entry, plus flexible mounted or hand-held shower hose. Limitations included a markedly low toilet seat and wall-mounted soap dispensers in the shower at a height for those guests of above-average height. The room had a kettle, toaster, and set of crockery and cutlery. Unfortunately the toaster smoked too much for us to be able to use it. Notwithstanding, we enjoyed the short break and the close proximity of the Motel to The Entrance and surrounds, including accessible local club eateries.

Many cockaroaches outside on balcony. We tried to have some nibbles but they were all over the food. Also should be clearer signs to say when you can use the spa in the room. It shuts off after 10.30pm which is super annoying if you feel like a late night spa. Deck and flooring is old, needs some reno done. Definitely not as good as pics.
