I liked that the resort was nearby to restaurants and local attractions. The hot tub and pool were good. The managers were friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I had to go down to ask for more toilet paper as there was only one roll provided and no spares. The body wash in the shower ran out on our 3rd night there. But overall it was on OK place to stay.

Small things let the place down.

Overall a nice place but Motel let down by small easily fixed things. Stayed in a 2 Story 2 bedroom motel unit, heaps of space nice view of lake & plenty of toilets/bathrooms. Parking is not easy depending which unit you were in. Parking out on the road is an option. Heating in bedrooms is on or off & gets too hot, no thermostat. Bed was nice but bottom sheet upside down, so sleeping on the rough surface. Toilet roll holders drooping, nearly falling off wall, full size fridge freezer, nice ice bucket but no ice trays. Tissue box cover was sitting on basin cabinet & no tissues. Dining table chairs in bad repair. Quite a few steps to get places around the property so not great for mobility. Bit over controlling at Check In.
