We were there for 2 nights and it was exactly what we expected. Comfortable room. Dated decor but all you need. The bed was good/average but otherwise central to the Bowlo main pub in town for a meal. Has a pub attached to accomm also which did food.

A nice clean and spacious room. A nice spot outside to sit and enjoy a cup of tea. Ground floor units with car spot in front. The bed was comfortable. A great location near a hotel and bistro. Located just off the highway.

Liked: Staff & service
Felt the whole accommodation needed some attention. Location fine, easy reach to all activities and tourist locations. Bed quite comfortable, no shower curtain, floor got very wet. Curtains needed attention, one was ripped, others needed fixing. Had everything as advertised, although kitchenette very cramped. OK for 2 night visit.

The air con was good worked well. The room was dark. The walls between rooms seemed very thin as next door room arrived late and we could hear every word.The staff were very helpful when my husband left the key to our room inside.
