Lovely warm cabin with sufficient kitchen facilities. Good shower. Towels etc replaced as required. Recycling facilities. Shopping was v ltd but we had taken supplies as prewarned. Cabin a little dated but clean and warm with friendly owners. We hope that the motel can be continued with the same ethos.
