Our family had a great stay. The owners/ staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Very good value for money - we stayed in the 1 bedroom. Also loved that it was pet friendly with park just behind motel for running our dog around. Would definitely stay again.

Unit could do with a refresh but was suitable for our 2 night stay. Staff were lovely. Would be nice to get a top up of Milk on 2nd day. Only 4 chairs for dining table so with a family of 5 someone had to sit elsewhere to eat.
