The room had a toaster and microwave though there was no crockery or cutlery provided and only 1 teaspoon. The television reception was poor. It rained the first day we were there and all night there were loud dropping noises on the roof which kept my husband and I awake.

I didn’t want to leave. The room is so welcoming and comforting. I think it’s the crisp white sheets, pillow cases and the warmest Doona I’ve ever slept under. Soft white towels. It’s the most pristine and clean motel room that I’ve ever seen. I’ll be back.
