Disliked: Cleanliness
The whole experience was terrible. The room was tiny, outdated, with leaking taps and beds from the 70’s. Paint peeling off the shower floor, which was in desperate need of repair. The railing on the smokers deck is wobbly and unsafe. The manager kept trying to come into the room with tradesmen, while the baby was sleeping, and my daughter getting dressed. His dog roamed freely in and out of the room. A totally unpleasant experience over all. We couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Location was excellent with lovely view through the few trees to ocean.
Motel manager very helpful and friendly. Although complex was old it had most facilitites and was confortable. Would stay there again.
We only had a stop over at this place so it was all we needed. Large room, seperate shower and toilet which was good. The beds were fine, typical motel style beds. Room was clean and we had a room at the back of the motel so there was no roadside noise. I would stay here again if I was passing through.

Is ok for a stop over. Beds are due for an upgrade.
Avocado Motor Inn was an enjoyable time which I very much appreciated.
Hospitality was great and cleaning ness very good l would recommend this place to anyone as l will
endeavour to return again at a later Date
The room had everything in it. It was a budget room, but for an overnight stay on a long driving trip very suitable.

Comfortable Stopover
This is a comfortable stopover for anyone needing an overnight rest. The owners were courteous, friendly and helpful as they welcomed me to their motel. Bearing in mind that it is rated 3 stars, don't expect luxuries. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was hot! There were the basic facilities you would expect in any motel room - kettle, fridge, iron, toaster, TV - as well as free WiFi. The biggest drawback is that it is right on the highway and quite noisy.
The lady was rude, my husband got locked in the toilet due to a dodgy door handle. The facilities were in much need of an upgrade. the price was not good value for money. I would not recommend staying here

Convenient location on the highway
This was a stopover on our trip & was conveniently located. It was a bit noisy from trucks going past but was otherwise everything we needed.
