Comfy bed. Clean room. Bathroom had no fan and steams up whole room, also some black mould. No real facilities at the motel. Restaurant is only open Wed-Sun. Cafe in the building is good and very popular. Very close to the beach. Overall, not bad value if you want to be right in the thick of the beach life. 10 mins walk to the Wollongong Nth Surf Club, cafes, restaurants etc.
