Squid's Ink Motel
690 Pacific Highway , 2280 Belmont, Australia – Great location - show map
We have stayed here a few times before and will return. You can't beat the location right on the lake and the value for money. There is an excellent restaurant on site. Rooms are simple and basic but clean. Exceptionally good water pressure in the shower. Beds and pillows are comfortable. This time we stayed in the water view rooms (we usually just stay in the cheaper rooms). The water view rooms are quieter so if you are a light sleeper you may prefer these. It was nice to sit on the chair outside our room and have a coffee and gaze at the lake. Don't expect 5 stars at this price. But if you want a simple clean room in a stellar location you can't go wrong.
Nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, Squid's Ink on the Lake offers air-conditioned accommodation with a flat-screen TV. Some rooms have a relaxing spa bath and lovely lake views. Squid's Ink is a 3-minute drive from Belmont City Shopping Centre and Belmont Golf Course. Warners Bay is a 15-minute drive, and Newcastle CBD is less than 30 minutes’ drive away. Each room includes a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a radio and ironing facilities. The private bathroom has a shower and a hairdryer.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
