Oasis Beach Motel
This is a budget style accommodation which was perfectly fine for two nights. The bed was not the best I have slept on however it was it was a short term stay. Rooms are only serviced after the second night of stay however it was nice to come back and find fresh towels in the bathroom.

Millennium Resort Manuels
Our room opened up directly onto the path right alongside the lake… With beautiful views! We also loved the proximity to the town, breakfast buffet, and the grotto. It was also nice to have the small gym.

Karaka Tree Motel
I like the spa room plenty of space, got what I asked for ie shortage of towels/bathmats. Kitchen handy location in room but needs simple cleaning overall. Average stay for the price. Could do with a small couch inside and table/chairs for outside usage to enjoy the view of lake.
