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.

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.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers 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 make check-in quick and easy.

    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 !

    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.

    We loved our motel room which had the lake view. It was clean and spacious and had places to put our things. Staff were friendly and helpful and would stay again. From the motel we could walk to the lake and jetty. We also walked along the lake to The Entrance.

    For a small local town, the Ocean Front Motel more than fits the bill. The accommodation had plenty of unexpected comforts such as extra waffle blankets and biscuits with a great selection of tea and coffee, bathrooms are fresh and bright with a double vanity, the facilities have been freshened up and truely hit the mark.
