    The motel is located right at the ocean shore in a very nice former whale hunters village. The room was not too big, but good enough for one night stay and we enjoyed rewatching the Lord of the Rings movie on Netflix before visiting Hobbiton afterwards. The morning run along the shore for some of us was also very inspiring. Great stay!

    Really good location on the promenade, from which to explore the town on foot. A range of shops at one end and The Pier hotel and restaurant at the other.
