I loved the Capricorn..the room very spacious, all the conveniences & step out the rear door into the garden & pool. Well priced & out of the city; very convenient. Highly recommended 👌

Casa Nostra Motel
An excellent place to stay. The individual villa units are very spacious and comfortable. The amenities are excellent (although the was only the one fork in the cutlery drawer). We have stayed at Casa Nostra previously and would be happy to stay again.

Bayview Tower
Our unit didn’t have any where to hang our clothes or any where to hang our towels. A sofa would have been better than the single bed. We were not aware breakfast was part of the deal. We enjoyed the time we were there and would recommend to anyone.
