The property was very clean and in a good location . I fell over the suit case stand during the night . I folded it up and moved my case over to the corner so I would not fall over it . Next day we went out sight seeing and when we came back my suit case had been moved back onto the suit case stand. I have never had my things moved around at any hotel I have stayed in before. There is also no sign to leave on the door saying do not disturb.

Motel is clean and the efficiency unit has everything you would need. You have to drive a few blocks to eat but its an island that you need to have a car to get around anyway. Staff were very nice and helpful.

This family room was a pleasant surprise. The room was clean, modern, and well-maintained. It was a short walk to the local shops, making it convenient for grabbing essentials or a quick bite to eat. The location was great, just a street away from the beach front esplanade, offering easy access to the ocean and beautiful coastal views. Overall, it was a comfortable and affordable stay.

Rooms and property were very clean; it's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in their lodgings. Right near center of town and beach, everything within walking distance. Will definitely go back whenever I return to the area!

On my arrival late in the day it was wonderful to enter a warm and cosy studio. After whale watching in the very cold conditions at Cape Woolamai in the afternoon I was happily surprised the heating was already on. The King Studio was comfortable, well equipped, clean, quiet and conveniently located only 400m stroll from the Cowes shopping strip.

The process was just so easy booking in with the Seahorse Motel. We were kindly allowed to check in a little earlier than the requested check in time which was very helpful. We know where to stay when we return!

Noisy
Unfortunately, the room was opposite a BBQ area, which a large family took over for the day and evening, There was a lot of noise, late into the night. The room purported to have a kitchenette, but this consisted of a fridge and a microwave, so not really adequate.
