The staff were courteous and bed was comfortable. The motel was probably very nice 30 odd years ago however it is very tired and old now. There was rubbish under a bed and behind the fridge, there was mould around the joinery, water stains on the ceilings and down the walls from leaks.

Property do not have heat pump. They provided small heaters which was not working at all. We had to leave the property as it was too cold for kids to stay without heater. We informed the staff however no help or refund. Website is also misleading, showing rooms have spa but we did not have it. I will never book again
