We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the manager when we asked for assistance with recreational bookings, washing and information. He was so friendly and helpful. The motel is quiet and well situated for access to the town and amenities. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very close to the city Centre, just a walk through the park. We showed up late at 10:30pm and the instructions provided were easy and clear. Owner is very friendly. Was Very nervous about the “motel” status but everything met expectations. The bedding was super soft and we pushed the two twin beds together to form a king.

Michael was amazing! We got in last minute with a late reservation due to a vrbo snafu. Michael made sure our rooms were warm and bed heated were on when we arrived late in the night. The next day, he accomodated us by holding our luggage while we visited milford sound. He checked the road report for us as well. Our rooms were clean and comfortable! Thank you so much!!!
