This is an excellent motel, it was so clean and we loved the set up of the space with separate kitchen and bathroom in the larger room we booked. I was so impressed to see a recycling tub in the kitchen. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The location is very handy to town, just a short drive. Highly recommend.

This property fitted our need for a convenient base while attending local wedding events. Staff were courteous and accepting of a correction we offered regarding the opening times of cafe next door. The fittings were a little rundown but overall the motel is value for money. Thanks team!
