Fantastic location, just a literal skip over the train tracks and you’re on the beach! Everything was pristine in the room, very comfortable. Quick drive into town with tons of shopping and food options. The seal colony nearby was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend the Alpine View for a lovely stay!

Beach access is through the back gate of the Motel, which is fantastic for surf casting (good fishing spot), picnics, and walks on the beach.
Walking distance to supermarket.
Very clean, and well presented.
