Our room was spotless and tastefully decorated. Facilities in the room were of a high standard and the operators had gone the extra mile to provide those little treats that made us most welcome. We’d highly recommend this spacious, well maintained accommodation

Stayed in deluxe queen room for an overnight stay. Room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, easy parking right outside the room and quiet at night. Handy kitchen utensils, plates, cups and nice to have the coffee pod machine. Lots of little extra touches to make us feel welcome. Staff were friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy doing what they do. Would recommend this motel. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

Welcoming room (with added little treats) felt more like a granny flat than a motel unit very comfortable.

The property is Kept very clean & tidy. The 2 ladies running the property are very friendly and helpful. We have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit all over the world & we have found that it's the little things that make all the difference to our stay. Fiona & Shawna add that personal touch, that little something else with daily homemade treats left in your room in stead of the ubiquitous little pack of mass produced cookies for your tea and coffee. That's what makes the difference for us. Thank you very much ladies.
