Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

In a town with wall to wall motels the fun n sun offers very clean rooms off highway parking and close to shops and club. Foam mattress and TV not showing HD channels are not a deal breaker- very safe choice

The rooms and surroundings do of this little retro motel are beautifully maintained and the reception staff are friendly and helpful. If you want clean rooms, an outside space to enjoy and food/drinks available with an easy walk across the road this place will tick all the boxes.

We stayed overnight to attend a funeral. The hosts were as usual very helpful even to the point of changing rooms to accommodate more people in our family group. The beds remain very comfortable, showers have great water pressure and the central outdoor area is great to have a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. Cars are parked outside the entry door for convenience. Although situated on a main road, once our doors and block-out curtains were closed we were not disturbed by undue noise.

Fantastic clean motel. Kids loved the pool and the open areas to run around. Undercover parking directly next to room. Motel operators super friendly. First motel off the highway. Perfect to unwind before travelling on. Best seafood across the road and great pub walking distance

A very friendly reception team was our first experience at this establishment. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The room we were given was actually a disabled room which was not an issue. We were given this room as it was the quietest of all the rooms being on the end of a row. The room was spacious as you would expect, and the bathroom had room to spare. The standard tea coffee etc was available also. The bed was just a little firm for me but would be perfect for the majority of people who like a bed such as this.

My partner and I were heading interstate and hadn't booked any accommodation on the way, as we just drove till we had enough. We pulled into here at nearly 10pm and the owner was very welcoming. They were even able to provide us with off street parking for our car and boat. The room was lovely and clean. Would gladly return and stay again.
