    Had everything we needed. Reasonable price and friendship service. We used the hot pool and it was relaxing (and clean).
  • Helen

    Love this motel. The beds were comfy, good kitchen facilities, lounge area was nice. We've stayed here before and we'd 100% stay here again. It was perfect for the 4 of us. Free drying room was perfect and the outside spa was a treat.
