Well priced and the greeting was super friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, with a huge balcony. A sensor light in the parking area for room 3 would be nice. It was a bit dark until I got to the light switch for the stairs.

Great location. Comfortable beds, good showers. Pleasant friendly owner. While this is a dog friendly motel which is great for those who have dogs I see in information that owners are charged $20 per dog - seems a lot if someone had 2 small dogs..

For the price, this was a clean tidy unit for a stopover. We enjoyed the stroll through town from there with the kids able to scooter to the skatepark on their own being so close. Car parking for both our vehicles at no extra cost was great.

I'd like to thank the owner's of this motel. We have been travelling the South Is. since the 30th Jan and your motel was the first very spacious 2 bedroom unit we had come across. Your lounge suite was comfy as, the kitchenette suited our needs. The shower pressure amazing. We were very impressed if I'm ever back this way I'll definitely be stopping in.
