Located on cliffs, Ocean Front Motel overlooks The Entrance Beach and the Pacific Ocean. It provides simple accommodation with a private balcony. It enjoys direct access to the beach and The Entrance Ocean Baths. Free WiFi is available in all rooms.

Spa tub room had a gorgeous view, and the spa tub on the deck was lovely. Thoughtful dividers between balconies so you can have your privacy while enjoying the view. We arrived late and the hotel would normally turn off the community gas grill after hours; however, they were gracious enough to leave the gas connected when we asked and they surprised us by also leaving a set of grilling tools in our room to make use of the grill that much easier. Room was also stocked with real plates and utensils so we were happily able to cook and enjoy a late night dinner (which we strongly preferred to takeaway). We were only there for one night but would definitely recommend this to any travelers -- wish we'd had a little more time to stick around and enjoy it. Next time!

This was the last property available in the area that we wanted to stay. The property was far more spacious than what we needed. We liked the spa bath (even though it didn't actually work as a spa). There was tea, coffee and cookies for our breakfast: a nice welcome treat. Clean linen, towels, clean rooms.

Superb motel in a great location. Exquisitely decorated, Spotlessly clean, first rate facilities. Provision of cable TV and unexpected and very welcome surprise. Owners fabulous and couldn't be more helpful. Take up the option for breakfast as well - it's excellent. Had stayed in a number of motels en route from Brisbane and whilst they've all been good, this was an absolute stand out. Could not praise it enough.

Wake up to river views from your private balcony when you stay at Chittaway Motel. Guests can stay connected with free WiFi, or cook up a tasty meal using the BBQ facilities.

Chittaway Motor Inn is a 5-minute drive from Westfield Tuggerah shopping centre. The Entrance is a 15-minute drive away and Gosford is a 20-minute drive.

Our third time staying here. Could not be happier with this motel. Great location, big rooms, shops next door, quiet location.....couldn't ask for more. Staff are always lovely and the place is spotless (shoutout to the cleaning staff). One surprising bonus is the wildlife. From the back balcony we have seen possums in the trees, scrub turkeys foraging through the leaf litter, ducks, magpies....it's great.

    This is a basic 1960s motel that has been refurbished - so the kitchenette is very basic with an onsite kitchen further down providing more facilities, crockery etc. Despite being on the main road it was relatively quite - good parking. Bonus is within walking distance to Diggers Club - massive RSL Club with the best restaurant. Friendly staff and a good place to stay on our way north.

    We had requested a late check in and rooms close together. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A very cozy motel. Had everything we needed. Had a fridge and microwave, which is extremely handy especially travelling with little ones. Having the sink separate and outside of the bathroom is quite handy. The hotel is also walking distance to some really nice cafes. Thanks for a pleasant stay!

    The motel had EV chargers which was the main reason I chose it. The staff were very accommodating in asigning me a room with a charger outside. They had a flat fee of $25 for charging which is excessibe for a 7kW charger but they waived it for me. They had plunger coffee !

    Good value for money. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Although the motel is quite old the rooms have been updated and had good air-conditioning, the bed was a little hard but ok. Linen was clean and nicely presented. Bathroom was very clean. The room had a kettle and microwave, and there was a separate guest kitchen and ironing area.

    I booked this room last minute for my elderly parents. They said the motel was perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was exceptionally clean. They very much appreciated the in-room tea, coffee and biscuits. Lovely staff and great location. Thank you for taking care of my parents at your wonderful motel.
