The owners are an exceptionally nice couple, the husband even tracked me down in the township to return my alarm clock I’d forgotten to pack. The room was lovely - included a spa bath and small kitchen with small fridge, toaster, kettle, and two cooking elements. The television had the basic Sky tv channels - one sports, one movie, and the other regular stations one normally gets with a base subscription. Only gripe is the Wifi there is extremely unreliable and refused to log on for me for most of the two days I was there. When it did log on, it would frequently cut out.

Nice modern studio unit. The shower drainage didn’t seem to run the water down quickly enough so the floor got really wet. We had to use bath towels to keep the floor dry. We stayed in the ground floor unit. And unfortunately someone upstairs decided to have a spa(?) bath at 12.30 in the middle of night and also a long shower afterwards. The motor noise and water running down the drain were loud enough to wake us up… & hence couldn’t get back to sleep. Other than that, the motel was good.

This was a lovely big room in a motel recently built. While I had to myself, it would have been lots of space for two people without falling over one another. Kitchen had everything I needed including a dedicated freezer. Just saying if you are on the upper floor, you have to climb a staircase that is semi-covered. Also many heavy goods vehicles going past on the SH2. Just keep your windows shut and curtains closed.

Stayed one night on our trip down South. This was the best accommodation, the kind of place you can recommend to others. The staff and room were well above average. Ask about a downstairs room if you can't carry your bag upstairs.

Clean and convenient. Comfortable bed. Excellent service. I came in late and they’d made arrangements for me. I was leaving on New Year’s Day when most restaurants were closed and Sue whipped up some breakfast that was much appreciated. I would highly recommend The Suites.
