GOOD: Spacious family room with high ceilings Modern and updated Kitchenette air conditioner good sized fridge was great easy access to swimming pool BAD: Grumpy and unfriendly old man told me off because my daughter parked her car on-site as well (she was staying with us too) That man has NO people skills. Car park tight and limited Bathroom is too small OVERALL VERY GOOD, but will not stay there again because of grumpy old man.

The property was very clean, car park nicely positioned, laundry facilities were good & clean. The pool was excellent. Staff members were welcoming and very helpful & friendly However there is lots of noise from the nearby main rd, rooms on the main rd side may need sound proofing

Nice clean room, comfortable,quiet and best of all was decent sized fridge,full sized stove,toaster,microwave and jug. So rare to find a motel room that has these features plus space. Not as expensive as Budget motels when i booked, just a no brainer, they even have pet friendly rooms i think.

Two things kitchen cupboards were a little tired but very functional & the parking a little tight. I would definitely stay again.

Pool was a nice addition we enjoyed a swim. Main reason for the 3 stars was the cleanliness of the room.

I was appalled I paid $265 for the room with pets I was treated like a second rate citizen parking was told where ever you can get one. I did get one outside my room As soon as I opened the door the dogs and myself didn’t want to enter it smelt so strong of bleach The bathroom was so old the sink plug area was green and rusty the shower while hot was a very old shower head the curtain had mould on it The floor was sticky The rules of the place was annoying I had to was and dry and put away my dishes or I would get a $50 fine and leave the room tidy I took a picture of all of the rules they were rediculous The room was so small no couch just table and chairs and the bed and the pillows had dog/cat hair on them not from my dogs they don’t loose hair No introduction to facilities or take away restaurants Very disappointing and yuk

Location, Location! Loved staying by the river and parkland. Just off the main highway. We stayed in a smaller room on Level One and this had everything we needed. We arrived late afternoon and only stayed two nights. Had it been a longer stay I would definitely book a larger room with a balcony facing the park. One small window in our room faced the entry way for other rooms and the larger window was behind the bed. So no option to just sit in the room and enjoy the scenery. Would definitely recommend but advise clarifying room details first.
