Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The unit was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly. In particular we managed to do a few loads of washing through them and it was returned quickly, which was great. The TV in the second bedroom did not work and despite asking a number of times it was not fixed. There was not an electric blanket in the second bedroom but when asked it was provided quickly. The heat pump needs replacing but overall the facilities were very good for a short-term stay

The manager Josefina was so friendly and accommodating. I had called to ask if it was possible to check in earlier than 2pm, quite a bit earlier actually and she was happy to allow me to. The room was clean, comfortable and the location is excellent. I would recommend this property most definitely. Thank you so much for being so wonderfully nice.

This motel was very quiet and peaceful – that's a big deal for me. It's within short walking distance of the main shopping area in Taradale, which has many bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff of the motel were very friendly and they gave us a free upgrade to a two-roomed unit – that was VERY kind – it blew us away.
