Harbour Light Motel

10/10 Excellent
"A charming, old school motel that anyone who has spent vacations going on road trips will appreciate for its charm and the memories of road trips past it conjures up. Comfy with all of the typical amenities we are used to, with that unique touch that is absent when staying at a corporate chain motel."

Painted Turtle Guesthouse (Hostel)

8/10 Good
"Loved the check-in check-out staff, as well as the lounge/kitchen/beautifully sunshine-y area. Slightly disappointed about the shower situation and lack of mirror in the single queen room - it would’ve been not only brighter but also the desk is just perfect for the light fixture to reflect. Luckily I brought a small mirror but would’ve appreciated a wide range wall mirror or a full body mirror - would’ve made a huge difference."
