Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    This was hands down the nicest motel we stayed in. The many extra little touches went above and beyond. Good location to explore the peninsula.

    Unfortunately we did not like this accommodation, yes it was a motel and maybe not suitable for us. Was a clean unit but very outdated.

    We just spent one night at the motel to escape cyclone Gabrielle so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or other facilities. But we appreciated the super friendly welcome by the staff and the clean and comfortable room. The location is great to explore Thames and the area. The kitchenette has everything needed to prepare breakfast or small meals. Beds were comfortable and felt fairly new.

    From Start to finish. We had great contact and information from Sunset Motel. Beautiful setting where it's located. We arrived to find we had an upgraded room, thank you! Plenty of space for us to relax. Just wish we'd had longer to stay and explore. The space itself was really well presented and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

    Professional and friendly on arrival. Room was spacious and clean. Alot of power points always a bonus. Good supply of basic refreshments. Great to have soap, shampoo included in room. AC added bonus as nights were very hot. Loving the eco friendly approach with a glass milk on offer, recycle rubbish and filtered water to the motel. My hubby and I stayed 3 nights spent Xmas there and had a well earned rest reason for going on holiday.

    The Sunset Motel was good value for money. It was spotlessly clean inside and the bathroom facilities were modern and clean. The bed was warm and comfortable and the heat pump made for a warm stay.
