Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This was such a find. The room was very clean, and the suite had everything I needed. Staff were very friendly & helpful. The location suited me also with the lake right at my doorstep. Warner’s Bay shopping Centre was a short walk away with plenty of cafe’s & restaurants as well as a supermarket & pharmacy. I’ll definitely stay there again.

This motel is located at a great place, walking distance to the Warner's Bay seaside. The room and toilet are really clean but the bed is too soft for us. We were allocated a ground floor room though we have requested for a upstairs room with a balcony. Strangely this request did not appear in our booking at all.
