The motel is lovely, our room was clean and comfortable.. Parking at the room, walk to shops and meals. The owner pointed us in the right direction for a safe swim with children and the club for dinner was great. We would recommend this lovely motel.

This was the perfect dog friendly accommodation we needed for an overnight stay while on a road trip. Check in and check out was easy, staff were great. Our room was a good size, spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back on our next road trip!

Stayed on two occasions, mainly because they allow you to bring your dog, first stay was ordinary , in that the room needed renovation. Second occasion had a lovely room, tastefully decorated, lots of thoughtful extras. It’s out on f the way from shops but quiet at night. Owners are friendly and accommodating, i would stay here again.

I was disappointed with noise problem one of the windows on the external wall did not have glass in it just a steel grid for security. The motel is on a major road and the traffic noise was loud all night resulting in very little sleep

Response from Erin on 17 Jul 2023
The window you are talking about is a sliding glass window. All you have to do is slide it shut. All windows on the property open and close and we leave them open when we clean to air the rooms. It is up to the guest to close the window, if they desire.
