The proprietor's were lovely, and did their absolute best to provide a wonderful experience, unfortunately the pool was too cold to swim in and it would be quite noisy with the truck air brakes during the week, the beds really do need to be updated to more modern mattresses. All in all though it was a lovely and staff were just wonderful.

The staff were great! the rooms could do with an upgrade and missing a few things cutlery, which made it hard if you up wanting breakfast. but otherwise, it’s a beautiful spot to be staying at.

A clean and tidy motel with basic but adequate facilities. Good value. Convenient breakfast. A good spot to stop en route. 8 year old reports that his “bunk bed was squeaky but it had a playground and lots of space and needs more playground equipment” and gives 3/5. 6 year old reports it was “a little bit small” but gives 5/5. Wife felt “was like a school camp motel” but still 4/5. Overall, a good result!

Given that is off the main highway the property is set back from the road and is so quiet and peaceful. The owners are friendly and easy to talk with. I will be going back again. It is a very relaxing property.

As a family with teenage children, the bedding in these rooms was perfect with 2 singles and a queen. The grounds were lovely, and the check in team were very friendly. Very good value for money when visiting the region. We would stay again. The only faults we found were that the room was a little musty, but we opened the door for a little while, and it was fixed!

We were extremely disappointed to stay here. Check-in was ok but we were advised there was a fee for Amex, so I gave another card. Didn't realise that they had already charged our original card and, of course, the fee. Our room was relatively clean until you looked under the bed where there was Maltesers. The spa room had a spa big enough for a small person, definitely not room for 2 and the shower only had soap in the dispenser, no shampoo or conditioner. Internet was sketchy (tried 2 mobile phones and a laptop) so I went into the restaurant to use their internet. Was offered a coffee, asked for a tea (same that is in the rooms) and was charged $6 for literally a tea bag and water!! Owner was rude and unhelpful and, if you look at the comments through google, he refutes everything you write. I'm the second person from my company who stayed here, and we are both on the same page. Do not stay here!

Friendly and helpful staff. Motel seems to be a work in progress of upgrading an aging property. Comfortable but still in between old and new vision.
