Very comfortable and cozy with a lovely setup. The smart tv was a nice touch but struggled to stay connected to the internet and there werent any kids shows on the basic channels for when we were indoors. Only other issue was that every little sound was amplified immenselly whether it was outside or in

Super spot, I stayed before and after the 90 mile beach walk. Owners are beyond friendly and helpful and is great value. Pack n Save, Hinting and Fishing and the Warehouse are right in the area which is super handy for restocking supplies. Will be back

Nice spacious unit for my family of 4. Had your basic amenities. Friendly service and welcome. Location is close enough to everything but not but the busy hustle of a town. Across the road from warehouse and next to Pak n Save so convenient. Would stay again.

Nice place, and very close to grocerie shop. Very good for one stop on a trip. Swimming pool needs a clean. Floorboards in kitchen are not all at same level, which can make you hurt your toes.

Be aware upfront there's no AC, but I suspect there's but AC at many places out this far and it wasn't needed. They kindly provided desk fans in the closet that I luckily opened to see what was there and that was all that was needed. Location is on the outskirts of town but very conveniently right next to a Pak n Save, Warehouse, and McDonalds. Nice kitchen and bathroom and shower. Has a separate bedroom and a bed in the main room so lots of sleeping space for bigger parties.

Impeccably clean, if somewhat quaint small motel in the north. Minimal sound or thermal insulation, a good heater is bolted to the wall in the kitchen/lounge area but not the bedroom. In mid July that could be a problem. Traffic noise from 5am so you won’t need an alarm clock. Good well appointed kitchenette and bathroom. A small column heater to take the chill from the bedroom would be ideal. Otherwise good for its price class and location.
