The best B&B we have stayed in

From the moment we arrived (and we were quite early), we enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. There was nothing too much trouble.

The room was wonderful with plenty of litte extras that you just don't find elsewhere.

Breakfast was a delight, served (yes, served) on our balcony overlooking the ocean. The food was delivered as courses so that the hot food was still how when you ate it. When I finshed my eggs faster than expected (they were very good and plentiful), I was offered more!

This is an adults only B&B so there were no children about, which made for a veryrelaing get away.

Narroma is not somewhere to go for the highlife but is very relaxing and friendly. Don't be surprised if the restaurant is closed when you get there - they have probably gone surfing but don't worry there are plently of others about.

Regret booking in there

The staff member at check in was very polite and helpful but the 'resort' was extremely disappointing. We didn't expect 5 star luxury but were not expecting it to be so awful. It's next to main highway and the grounds look quite sad. I even booked the most expensive rooms (0/night) to make sure that it was going to be reasonably comfortable but that didn't help. The rooms are typical 70's decor motel rooms and having the spa in the corner of the bedroom with mirrors and lights simply made it look very dodgy.

But the worst thing seems to be the type of clientelle it attracts. The people next door were screaming at each other at 11pm and then at 3pm (when the nightclub closed) they and their other rowdy friends came back yelling, swearing and carrying on at the tops of their voices outside. They were clearly drunk and one stage they even broke a window to one of the rooms. I didn't even get to complain as the manager was at lunch when I checked out (we paid for a late checkout).

It seems to be the type of place that you would pass on through. It at least didn't look very appealing from the main highway or where we stayed.

Book Archer Resort Motel, or Shoalhaven Area Accommodation and Hotels.

Clean and Comfortable

Couldn't fault this motel. Was just the rest stop we needed.
