    Close to everything we needed. Although on the main road we did not notice the traffic at all. Friendly and accommodating owner. Appreciated the pre arrival text letting us know which room we were in.

    Bazza was awesome. Such a friendly guy. He kept us informed on the room and was super relaxed and cheerful. This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and it never fails to reach and exceed all my expectations. The room is clean and the facilities...

    Every thing excellent, enjoyed our stay, I had booked the motel a week or so ago but my partner had to go to hospital and we had to cancel, I’m pleased we rebooked and I thanked Bazza for refunding our money when that happened.
