"Enjoyed our stay - had everything we needed and cleaning staff great to work with."

8.0

Really nice accommodation in a central location. Had everything we needed. Cleaning staff were great.

I do think car parking needs to be allocated to each unit and not just first in first served.

""HOUR" Is The Man & would benefit from a payrise๐Ÿ˜"

10.0

"Hour" The Manager, has a beautiful personality & is very welcoming & helpful. Also the staff that I sid talk to were also just as nice.... Bed nice medium to firm just how I like it, everything was clean & presented nicely. 100/10 for service & very grateful ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

There was no spa pool but, not an issue but, a recommendation for when/if the Motel decides to upgrade in the future as I think that would bring more bookings during the colder seasons๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ
