Excellent, friendly service. Comfortable and spacious lounge and bedrooms. Easy to warm up with a heatpump. Great kitchen. The children enjoyed having netflix and youtube too. The motel could benefit from some ventilation though, especially in the bathroom. Overall a pleasant stay. Thank you.

Wanting place for one night so went for the cheaper side. So was good for that. The negative is the property and outside places, very run down broken outdoor furniture, bbq overgrown bt weeds , area's closed off due to maintenance that looks years old. Interior of our unit had cracked hand basin and loose taps, cracked plaster rips in bedroom nets. Generally the whole place needs major maintenance to attract customers.
