Very comfortable and cozy with a lovely setup. The smart tv was a nice touch but struggled to stay connected to the internet and there werent any kids shows on the basic channels for when we were indoors. Only other issue was that every little sound was amplified immenselly whether it was outside or in

Very disappointing motel. Unit was not clean including the cutlery. Kitchen cabinet needed maintenance done. Rubbish bin in bathroom hadn’t been emptied and still hadn’t when I left 2 days later. Unit looked tried and in need of renovations. Staff not very helpful. Generally disappointing
