First time booking accommodation in the area as opposed to staying with friends. Easy, very friendly service. Expectations of the property and operation etc are straight forward and understandable. Property looks to have been renovated since original. In my opinion, sets a high standard for a motel accommodation. I booked the room with the spa and was very happy with my experience!

Had a fantastic 4 days here in Jan 24. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. The hosts were welcoming, the unit was spotless, parking was easy, the view of the lakefront was fantastic. The owners go the extra mile and nothing was a problem. We will definitely stay here again.
