Very nice staff, friendly and helpful. The only negative - the room and bathroom were very cold when we arrived, all heating was off, incl heated towel rail. The bathroom was very clean but had an unusual smell - possibly from the spa bath. Overall a good stay. Thank you.

This property is in an ideal location within walking distance (About 20 minutes)of the CBD. It didn't have an oven, but it was well equipped otherwise and is the first motel we have ever stayed at with 3 TV's with Sky! The living area is very comfortable with a lovely patio with a fence with camelias growing against it. It also has a nice spa bath. The only minus was that the tap in the bathroom basin was very stiff and the other taps were very loose! The fridge had too many cans and bottles which had to be taken out to fit our own food. Over all though, a great place to stay.
