The proprietor's were lovely, and did their absolute best to provide a wonderful experience, unfortunately the pool was too cold to swim in and it would be quite noisy with the truck air brakes during the week, the beds really do need to be updated to more modern mattresses. All in all though it was a lovely and staff were just wonderful.

The staff were great! the rooms could do with an upgrade and missing a few things cutlery, which made it hard if you up wanting breakfast. but otherwise, it’s a beautiful spot to be staying at.

A clean and tidy motel with basic but adequate facilities. Good value. Convenient breakfast. A good spot to stop en route. 8 year old reports that his “bunk bed was squeaky but it had a playground and lots of space and needs more playground equipment” and gives 3/5. 6 year old reports it was “a little bit small” but gives 5/5. Wife felt “was like a school camp motel” but still 4/5. Overall, a good result!

Given that is off the main highway the property is set back from the road and is so quiet and peaceful. The owners are friendly and easy to talk with. I will be going back again. It is a very relaxing property.
