Fat Owl Motel, Bar & Eatery

8/10 Good
"Big plus, there is a bar and eatery associated with the motel and the food was excellent. The room was a bit small for two people but it was clean. The night was really quiet and you get a good night sleep. Staff was quite nice. Would book it again when in the area."
