8/10 Very good

This was a last minute booking but from the minute we drove into the motel we knew it was a winner. Beautiful tended gardens and pots, very quiet and so comfortable and obviously little personal touches like coloured matching bedding, quirky tiling in kitchen. Well thought out bathroom and kitchen. We loved everything about it

Patrick the manager was welcoming.The motel is new with basic facilities. Nothing special. Cleanliness was very good and crockery utensils in good condition.For the amount we paid we were disappointed. Other motels for a similar price were far better - location breakfast decor room size
