Good check in, friendly person. Room was spacious, furniture bit worn, new carpet. There were ants in one bed, couldn't be bothered alerting manager, just hopped into another bed. Large bathroom, shower needed seeing to, the head was loose. Good outside area, was ok for a night, Expedia price was more expensive than motel price, not worth what we paid

We stayed in an Executive Suite - a very nice large apartment with 2 bedrooms. Plenty of space and it had everything we needed. Lovely walk along the river nearby. Short drive to Ohope Beach.
