Family visit

This motel was a great find. Having been recently renovated, our rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and despite the noise from guests next door, we slept very well. We had a lovely view of the lake across the road, with great access to walking/cycling tracks, and parks with a fabulous coffee truck at the door. This will be our regular accommodation in the area from now on.

Weekend Family Stay

The stay was lovely, the room was very clean (there was a slight bleach smell that lingered) The pool was popular with the kids, and was beautifully maintained. The communication with the staff was excellent, from us arriving late due to traffic and the easy directions on checking out. There was an odd (sewerage like smell) around the entrance of our room to the carpark. The amenities for the kitchenette were great, if possible it could be a good idea to add a serrated knife to the cutlery (hard to cut bread rolls with a butter knife) The shower was divine! Great water pressure and easy to use. Thank you for a lovely visit!!

Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Provided coffee, toaster, kettle, refrigerator. Only real problem was noise from outside and the smell of smoke from people smoking outside their rooms.
