Just a 7-minute drive from The Strand waterfront area and the CBD, which is home to a number of cafes, restaurants, pubs and nightclubs, 850 Cameron Motel features complimentary WiFi and access to a garden.

Our plane was delayed and the staff were very accommodating about a late check for us. The room and bathroom was exceptionally clean. The furnishings were very clean and tidy, not tatty and old. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a lovely little outdoor sitting area which was private and sunny.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Whilst booking.com confirmed my reservation, the motel’s office hours were until 6pm not 8pm as advertised online. Arrived at property and no one at reception and after hours number did not pick up the phone. On a busy weekend no other place available in town, very disappointing.

    The room was immaculate. And even though it's right on the road, I didn't hear any traffic noise. Also, although I didn't use them, that there was a washer and dryer and all the little extras are something I'll keep in mind for future stays, of a longer duration.
