Ok but needs modernising

Location of the motel is very good. The site is large and has some scenic views from the grassed communal area but not from the cabins. The cabins are very dated, they need new kitchens, modern furniture and a lick of paint. The beds were very comfortable and shower has good water pressure, the cabins had been cleaned well. On reflection its very expensive for what you get in reality. The spa pool and the swimming pool were dirty so we did not use them.

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay here as a family of 4. The rooms were immaculately maintained and provided all of the comforts of a superior hotel. The staff could not accommodate us more and we enjoyed the facilities of the property including the tennis court and pool. The property is across the road from the shopping village and provide bikes to ride around town or the short distance to the beach. Highly recommended - thank you.
