Nice Room, Comfortable Bed, Good Shower. What more could you ask for. This was a business trip and I only spent 6 hours in the room.

Great accommodation at affordable rates. Shopped around and this place was the best on price for a 1 bedroom unit. We walked in and and we were pleasantly surprised at the room. Very spacious, modern furnishings kitchenette and a large tv. Would definitely recommend Beachcomber.

Slade New Zealand

Staff were awesome - followed up with us when we (unknowingly) left some clothes behind and sent them back to us. No dramas. Handy location to the beach with plenty of family friendly food options nearby.
