Sorry but this accommodation was a let down, they have put a lot of effort into trying to make it homely but it just dropped the ball in a few places. The toilet was not clean and it was the worst bed ive slept on in years

Ideal room & nice touches

Perfect stay, rooms clean, tidy & bed comfy with great linen & duvet. The little touches of homemade cookies, welcome note and the weather for the next day with chocolates was a great touch. I have stayed in a number of places in Lakes, and this one is so far my favorite so will definitely be returning.

Such a happy, welcoming motel! From the beaming friendly staff on reception to the home made cookies in our room and the chocolates on the bed! Lots of little homely touches around the room, I especially loved the native animal pictures. We also enjoyed sitting up in the comfy bed watching complimentary Netflix on the massive tv! Thanks for having us!
