We arrived back from dinner just after 8pm and none of us (3 different rooms) could get the TV to work! I followed instructions but it was not responding - no sound, no response to channel or volume buttons. I just wished to watch regulr tv, nothing special but nothing worked! There was no contact numbers for help, so nothing could be done. Staff very friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable.

We got more than was advertised. The four of us (one couple, two singles) I thought were going to be in one room. It was two rooms - one with a king bed and one (lounge) with a queen bed and reasonably comfortable pull-out. Very large bathroom with shower AND spa bath and toilet. Large bedroom. The quietest motel we've ever stayed in despite being quite close to the road. The quietest fridge we've ever had (no need to turn it off at night) and a TV in each of the sleeping rooms. Towels and tea bags etc. changed/updated every day. Comfortable beds with electric blankets. Couldn't find an airbnb for four at anywhere near this price. A
