Return visitor to Cedar Lodge. Never disappoints. Rooms clean, tidy, warm, and spacious. Staff always friendly and welcoming. Always impressed with how quiet it is, particularly given location next to SH1.

Cleanest motel I’ve ever stayed in! Bathroom is a bit old fashioned. Had two arm chairs not a couch like I was expecting.

Thank you for taking the time to give us such a great review! Some of our units have two comfy armchairs and some have a couch and a chair. Let us know if you require a couch next time and we can put you in the right room. Warmest Regards, Cedar Lodge Team
