I recently stayed at Ocean Shores Motel and just wanted to say Linda and Rob are wonderful people and could've been more accommodating. Good location close to shopping centre and golf club. Great amenities as well. Thanks Linda and Rob. If I'm ever up that way again I will definitely be staying there!!

Bad experience

Reviewed By NicciL86

The outside light was on right outside our room ALL NIGHT. The curtains aren’t block out at all and the bed is 1 metre from the window so it felt like daylight all night long and made sleeping next to impossible. I told Waves reception on check-out and she didn’t have a clue but said she’d ask maintenance (no apology). 48 hours after I checked out and handed the keys to reception I received a text stating my credit card had been charged $51 for losing a key. They did eventually refund this after I explained I’d handed both back at check out but receiving this msg and charge was a huge insult simply because they couldn’t find a key 2 days later! They didn’t even apologise for the accusation. A simple check of security cameras at the time of check out would have shown we’d handed both keys back.
 The rooms are nice and clean and location is fantastic but at $200 per night it’s just not worth it.

They only reply to get your business but won’t reply to refund you. I had to cancel due to flooding and made sure the booking policy would refund me. Terrible customer service, and after reading the reviews on here I’m not the only one waiting for a refund.

No hot water

Reviewed By 869freddiez

Disappointing visit for we 6 motorcyclists as there’s no-one on-site and there was no hot water. You need to collect key from the Middle Pub from the not-so-helpful manager. Over-charged my credit card $375 (their unexplained error) with no authorisation and charge 2.6% fee which wasn’t explained when I booked. No offer from owner for a room rate reduction for no hot water until I made the suggestion. Settled on 25%. Rooms tired and dated. Probably better places to stay for the price. Unlikely to return.

Nice well run motel

Reviewed By VirgoQualitySeeker47

Nice motel with spacious rooms We stayed a night here when travelling north, it is an attractive motel with ground floor and first floor rooms. The upper rooms have a balcony but are accessed by outdoor stairs (with handrail). The rooms are spacious with kettle etc. They have a strict no party rule and no groups . There is onsite parking and it is walking distance to the town centre. It was a quiet, clean place to stay.

AN OASIS On A Very Busy Road

Reviewed By 58Green

My husband and I stayed at The Sunseeker last week of January 2022. After many months of changing bookings, and re booking it was wonderful to finally be at The Sunseeker. To finally meet the amazing team of Mia, Tilly, Jimmy and the gang (so sorry you were all so kind and friendly and I have forgotten all your names, forgive me) From the minute I entered the reception area I felt at home .Nothing was to much trouble. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms, which was more than comfortable, and the access to the pool perfect, outside the door. The pool area was for me the highlight, an OASIS, with its surrounding garden and area near by to sit and eat. Cold water on tap and for the little people it was Kiddy heaven, go karts, trampoline and play equipment all there to be played on and enjoyed. Our children live in Byron and now ovoid is behind us (hopefully) we hope to visit very regularly. The Sunseeker is our preferred home away from home. Thank you look forward to seeing you in March.
