为什么人们喜欢它
- Designer Jason Grant's '70s-inspired coastal renovation
- On-site 'LuLus' coffee van and 24/7 communal kitchen
- Pet-friendly policy that actually welcomes dogs (with a treat)
快速了解： It's still a roadside motel at heart, so expect some traffic noise, but the vibe and value are undeniable.
@eatdrinkandbekerry 的评论: I was obsessed with the 70s aesthetic here! It feels like a boutique hotel but with that easy-going motel charm. The Malin+Goetz toiletries were a total surprise, and having Apple TV made the evenings so cozy. Definitely grab a bike and explore Kingscliff while you're here.
