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.

    The location is fantastic, quiet street with the smell of the sea and crashing waves 4 steps away from your door! Apartment is neat, bed and pillows comfy and very clean. Lots if cupboard space. Safe parking, wifi, a lovely pool to cool off in. Picnic tables and pool chairs situated around the pool to relax in. A little beach cafe down the street serves good coffee and yummy food.

    Nothing The place didn’t exist we paid R1038 and arrived at the property we were told the C8 was closed for the last 4 years I’m requesting a full refund because I was left sleeping on the road with my husband and 2 children in the middle of nowhere in the dark We had to find a space to park and sleep on the road side

    I absolutely loved the spacious rooms and deco. Being right across from the Gateway mall is perfect. There's free parking and excellent wifi connection. The rooms are spotless and the hotel is well kept. It's perfect for couples and families. I will definitely book here again.
