Excellent accommodation. We’ll priced, fantastically clean, good selection of teas and also face cloths and body lotion available. Comfortable bed, friendly hosts and umbrellas were provided in the rooms (it was raining) This is one of the best motels we’ve stayed in and I highly recommend it. Thanks for your high standard in motel management.

Lovely and easy, friendly check in and even given a bottle of milk and short bread cookies! It was spotlessly clean and though simple, had all needed. Parking was right at the door. There was a small lovely back porch. We appreciated Ray coming over to help us figure out the DVD player. They have a library of over 400 and we enjoyed watching one instead of using the Sky TV. Great price for this older quaint place!

The unit I stayed in was really clean and tidy. Unit was nicely decorated, felt fresh. Good furnishings and fittings. Comfortable bed. Quiet room, didn’t notice outside noise. Nice bathroom and great water pressure in shower. Under cover parking at the front door a bonus. Hosts were friendly, had good information about local attractions.

Very clean and close to town. Great shower and amenities. A few little “niggles”. It was very hot in the room but there were no windows able to be opened in the room, no AC and I wouldn’t have slept if we’d left the ranch slider open overnight. The kitchen tap in unit 10 needs a washer to stop it dripping. The toaster wouldn’t stay down; you had to hold it down, but overall a good one night stop. Young man on the front desk very pleasant and Moose, the ginger cat was a nice touch!

Unit was very dark, cramped and felt claustrophobic. The only exit door was the back door which led to the covered carpark. There was no outdoor seating area. Okay for a night but I wouldn’t want to stay longer because of these factors.
