This place was terrible. Much maintenance and repairs badly needs to be done. Tapes to cover holes in the walls, many damaged areas in the lino, no heating in bathroom, not enough cultlery or crockery, no information re eating places, sights to see etc in unit. Do i need to say more?

The unit was functional but looked tired, also has a strong musty type smell. The heater/blower did not work. The unit could really do with a refresh or some TLC.

Rustic, restful and roomy.

We were a group of 17 seniors who booked out the whole motel. As it's an older building there was plenty of space for sharing and lovely lawns. We were back off the busy main road so we're not disturbed by traffic noise. We could walk to the Skyline gondola and were right next door to the rabbit mini golf. We played at night. So beautiful with the real rabbits and all the lights. The owners were very helpful and quick to fix any issues we had.

Great Customer Service!!

Great stay, would book again. Communication with the Motel, prior to stay, was excellent I enquired about a very late check-in, manager gave me a number to ring when we got there. Turned out didn't need to, but really appreciated the manager being so great - no issue to check in late, took heaps of stress off. When we got there manager took me to room and gave me a run down on everything, including how to work the tv. Can't remember the last time that happened - again really appreciated it. Thank you!!

The room was large and generally clean. The bed was comfortable. The room was showing it's age and slightly run down. There was no Air conditioning. It was well stocked with tea and coffee. All dishes, utensils, pots pans and cutlery were in the room. Limited dining option within walking distance. Over all it was not bad, just not great. Good budget option for families .
