Palms Motel

Palms Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was very clean and the lazy boy chair was a real delight after a long hike! We really appreciated how the staff let us leave a bag with them while we were on our tramping trip. The motel is in a very convenient location with restaurants, a supermarket, cinema and the bus hub very close by. Thank you for a fantastic stay!"
