Squid's Ink Motel

최악의 숙소였네요 주변 경관은 좋은곳에 위치하고 있지만 개미가 득실거리고 바퀴벌레까지 정말 추천하고 싶지 않은 숙소입니다

We have stayed here a few times now. The rooms are simple but clean. You are right on the lake edge, with wonderful views. The restaurant onsite is expensive but very nice. The shower pressure is fantastic. Bedding clean and comfortable. It is a nice simple reliable option in this area, very affordable and well located between the lake and the great beaches around.

Motel is in a good location. We had a room at the back overlooking the water. Rooms are old & tired. Needs fixing up. Bathroom sink tap spout turned to one side, unable to move and make it straight. When the water is turned on, there is a very load noise coming form the tap???? There was no internet for the 2 nights while we were there. We were informed by the management that it would be fixed, but unfortunately it was not fixed whilst we were there. The back alfresco area facing the water could be a wow factor but all tables & chairs are very old and yukky. Not at all impressive to want to sit and enjoy a drink. Lots of built up water in the car park. We had to get our shoes very wet trying to get to our car as the water laying around was deep. The sunsets are beautiful and ducks are happy to come for a feed. There is a restaurant belonging to the motel and that appeared to be updated. We did not eat at the restaurant due to other commitment's. All in all, it was ok.

Great place for the money VERY frienly staff Great bar and restaurant.... TINTA superb location for lassy weekends with a spot of fishing if you will or just lounge around in front of the lake. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did 😊

The office here has been updated, but sadly the rest of the complex hasn't been. The unit we stayed in was very basic, they room itself had been painted so looked reasonably fresh, the bathroom was old only with a new show head. The outside of the complex was over run & needed an update. If you're looking for somewhere basic to stay this is ok.

I recently spent six nights here with friends. This is an older style motel but very clean and comfortable. It is in a beautiful position on Lake Macquarie and we spent evenings sitting out the back watching the sun set over the lake. The staff were very obliging - we only had to ask for something and it was there. Our bathroom door wasn't sliding properly but was fixed as soon as we informed them. There is a restaurant attached which appears to be open Thursday to Sunday. We had a triple room with a kitchenette which had a fullsize fridge, a microwave, sink, kettle and toaster.

We stayed in the family apartment which was very spacious and had a big deck overlooking Lake Macquarie to capture the stunning sunsets. Lots of bird life about and a short drive to many shops and restaurants. We made this our base to explore the lake and the many surrounding beaches. Not super modern but very comfortable and the host was friendly and very kind. A great area to explore a variety of beaches, gorgeous lake frontage parks and family friendly swimming spots.

The rooms are small and somewhat eclectic. You never know what will be in the room even when staying in the same room for repeat trips. Coat hangers but nowhere to hang clothing, no chair, the only place to sit was on the bed. Crockery and cutlery in the room sometimes. The fridge freezes everything.

The smell of cigarettes in the reception office was not a great start. Very very basic and dated room. The arctic blast off the lake was whistling under the gap in the door way. We had to have the air con on heat for the entire night as the bed linen was very sparse. Air con was mouldy inside and gave the room that musty old smell. Bed was comfy, shower was hot but water was pouring out every which way. The photos definitely did not match the experience. Rubbish piled up in the grounds including what looks like an abandoned car. It served the purpose for a weekend stop over just not sure I could face that again.
