I’m not usually one to comment but we were disappointed with our stay. Maybe I didn’t research well enough but image of waterfront rooms does not represent most of the rooms here. We were in dark first floor room overlooking carpark. Shower was temperamental also. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to this stay. Seemed expensive for time of year and room. 😕

The location was lovely. There were really fun table tennis tables, outdoor chess set and a pool table. The part of the motel we stayed in was older and could have used a refresh.

Excellent position . My only comment would be their cleaning is so efficient you can no longer read the temperature dial on the hob . A suggestion is a night light in the hall so when guests wonder at night they can see their way . Comfortable , roomy , everything at hand . I would stay again and recommend it .

Thank you for your nice review. We noticed the temperature dial issue and we have now added a photo in some rooms to help using the cook top where you could not read it anymore. We are glad you enjoyed your time and found the units comfortable and roomy. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards from the AWM team
