must say i was abit dissapointed at this motel compared to others ive stayed at,the rooms could do with a refurbish as there abit outdated and the shower wasnt the best,but in saying that its in a Fantabulous yes u read right spot right accross the road from the beach.We stayed with our two boys which was great as the beach is a really child friendly one too,its great place right next to shopping resturants,etc and the price i must say was really cheap too.

Needing accommodation at late notice for a wedding (and having found out we would not have to travel back to Sydney that night as previously thought), I researched options and found the Ettalong Beach Motel. With little else available at short notice, I had no choice but to accept the quoted rate of $150 per night (steep for a motel, even in January!). On arrival, we were quite disappointed. The screen door was stuck (a fire hazard) and we needed assistance to open it. The room was basic, but at least comfortable. Being a Friday night, there was noise from the local pub well into the evening. A small TV, clean towels, tea and coffee making facilities. Oh and air conditioning (although I got the impression this wasn't standard).

Approximate cost: $150 per night (high season)
