We stayed here for close access to Blake Park for our boys 7s wknd. Great location (being directly opposite the park!) Right frm booking, through to stay & check out, a special mention to Lisa - thank you, for your 5 star service. Our room was easy to access, parking just outside. Nice & clean facilities, room was clean & tidy, all room needs were adequately provided for. Having an air conditioned room was so good as the weather at the time was a scorcher and feedback from some of our group travellers (booked at other places) were, we were truly spoilt.😊 I would definitely recommend the Aquarius Motor Inn as a place to stay. A great destination for families, with the pool & spa a real treat. Thank you for your warm service.
