Lovely stay but check out wasn’t the most pleasant due to us getting a knock before 10am to say we needed to check out and when checking out there was no “thanks for staying” or “hope you had a nice stay” she just took the key

Relatively quiet location with a view of the bay. Nice ocean breezes. Easy to drive up to and park. I enjoyed all the amenities in the room such as a toaster, microwave, fridge and coffee maker. However, the carpet was not very clean and one of the pillow cases and duvet had stains on them. There was also not enough hanging hooks in the bathroom. The bathroom would also benefit from a little more counter space. The restaraunt next door was a little noisy at night.

Looks old style from the outside but very clean, modern and and comfortable units with all conveniences. Handy to lake walks and coffee van. Thought that The Esplanade traffic might be a problem but not so - slept like logs. Stayed two nights but could have happily stayed longer.

I had an amazing stay at the Esplanade Motel in Newcastle! The room was clean and well presented, the staff were welcoming, and check in and out was a breeze. Plus, the comfortable bed and extra towels from the cleaning staff made my stay even better. It's great when everything comes together for a lovely experience!
