Warm water in the shower for about 1 minute then only cold. Linen was thin. Room was clean and basic service eg kettle etc were in good condition. Cheaply priced if you just want to check in, sleep and check out. Would be pretty in spring.

Quite a few of the tap washers need changing as the constant drip and water noise was quite evident in the quiet of the night. Loved waking up to birdsong from the golf course each morning.

couldn't pay me to stay there again, my door code expired a day before I was due to check out. No staff were in the office or around the motel, no one answered phone after 6 hours of being locked out I had to call a lock smith to break into the room for me, left voice mails and a personal message, no one contacted me after I left to tried to make anything right

Photos of this property were obviously taken 10 years ago! So run down. I’ve stayed in many motels all over the country/world and this would have to be the worst place we’ve ever stayed. There were hairs on the pillows. My kids complained of being able to feel what felt like dirt at the end of the bed. The door between main bedroom and kids bedroom didn’t close! Bathroom doors didn’t close and looked so dirty! I don’t think floor had been mopped between stays! No soap supplied! No room key given! Just a written key code on a post it note! Seriously don’t know how this place is still running! Save your money or spend $30 more and stay elsewhere!

The place was a Resort......Last resort....it was the only room available for 50KM due to a rail closedown. The room faced the New England HWY so was noisy with traffic. The complex apparently run out of gas so there was no hot water after working a 12hr shift in the rain. The mattresses are so cheap it felt like the springs were going to bite you....probably wont stay here again even as a last resort.

The property is very run down and in need of major renovations. Dust and cobwebs all over the walls mould in the bathroom. A bed that needed to be thrown out years ago. When you layes down blood rushed to your head and one side of the mattress completely lacked any support at all. The hot water failed, it was like all the rooms are connected from water pressure prespective because I was halfway through my shower when I lost all hot water pressure. Not enjoyable trying to wash the soap off with a dribble of water. Walls very thin, people in joining room left there TV of all night so that was all you could hear when trying to sleep The worst part however was thst our room door would not lock. They have keypad locking system but once we opened the door it would not lock, solution was to just use the chain on the door. No matter what the owner tried it wouldn't lock. While the owner was pleasant on the phone and answered all my calls it was all the other things that made thia worst place I have ever stayed and I would not recommend anyone stay here.

Wayfarer Motel or Bates Motel? On approach it appears like a motel from a Midwest American slasher film. The trees and grass are overgrown and all the greenery on the motel itself is dead and dying. I have expected to find Norman Bates manning the reception desk. You receive the combination to your room on a Post-it note and I’m unlocking the door you find it won’t lock again. The rooms are small but adequate and to be honest for what you pay they’re okay. It has to be mentioned that the bathroom had a stool straight out of the 1970s, which is the one that looks like a plastic picnic salt and pepper shaker. When you try to shower at 7 o’clock in the morning there is no water coming out of the hot water pipe, you’ll find out later in the day that they have it turned off and you have to ask for it to be on the next morning. The staff are pleasant and helpful, though they can only work with what they’ve got. I won’t be staying there next year.
