We loved this little motel. From the moment we arrived and saw the beautiful hanging flower baskets, to having a parking space right in front of our room, we were impressed. The unit had a full kitchen and was very clean and organized. We would stay here again sure!

Property seemed to be renovated recently. But it still has a few oddities such as cardboard to cover where the blind is too short. The road can be noisy, but quiets down later. Overall a good stay.

The room was large, clean and the bed was comfortable. The lady on check in was very friendly and helpful. The rabbits grazing in the grounds were fun to watch. The Rickys Grill next door was very handy but we also managed to self cater one night using the fridge and microwave.
