Anndion Lodge Motel and Function Centre
The comfort and convenience of our unit, the Garden Suite, was very very much better than its street apeal. My partner has trouble walking, she has had a stroke, but the parking next to the step free food and the very convenient layout and comfort of our unit made our stay a real pleasure.
