4/10 Fair

The bedside tables and lamps were dusty. Corner of microwave door broken which did not instill confidence to use it. Site show pool on site, which was dirty and unkempt - definitely wouldn't swim in it. For $210 per night, I would expect far better.
2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the money.

Quick check in without any dialogue. The room and bathroom need overhaul. Unclear if the towels was washed.Location very central.

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Located right across the beach was beautiful, having our own car park was a bonus as well not worrying about what time we returned to the hotel. They were happy to allow us to check in late by leaving the key under the mat which was we were so grateful due to us coming from 5 hours we didn't stress rushing to get their. :) 10 stars

Surf City Motel and Bombora Dining

Needed somewhere to stay overnight, that was near good dining, preferably with views. Surf City ticked all boxes. good rooms, quiet and only 2 doors away from Bombora eatery and bar. Meals were delicious both dinner and Breakfast enjoyed overlooking parkland and beach. Will definetly stay at Surf City and revisit Bombora again.
Barry, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms are basic but have all you need. Could do with more attention on the cleaning though, especially at $290 a night on a public holiday.

Happy stay.

It was comfortable, quiet and a great location. The amenities were ok but could have used bowls, plates cutlery etc. a toaster was provided and an electric jug. That’s all .the bed was comfortable, bathroom ok.

There was everything you need from a motel, but the carpet was very stained and the air conditioner and mattresses could do with an update, but overall a neat, well located motel that met all expectations.
