We had a 2 bedroom property for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was the biggest motel space we have ever stayed in! Lots of space with upstairs/downstairs living and 2 bathrooms. Staff friendly and accommodating. Pool looked lovely although we didn't try it due to very cold outside air temp. during our stay. Walkable to local amenities at Marewa shopping centre.
