Fantastic location and super neat garden with outdoor seating area with cute building. It covers basic inside facilities (without kettle) but enough for overnight stay. Office is on opposite side of the accommodation buildings open 7am-10pm. Friendly reception staff.

Lovely folks managing the motel. Rooms are minimalist, but clean & comfortable. You are very close to the entrance of the Cabot Trail National Park. You are next to the river with hiking trails on the beautiful property. Lots of chairs outside to enjoy the last of the sun of the day.
