White Lace Motor Inn

White Lace Motor Inn

8/10 Good
"The hotel is a good option as a 3 star hotel. I stayed there five nights and thought it was adequate for my requirements. There is plenty of parking and the continental breakfast was very good. Sebastian was always on hand to help with any queries. The Souths Bowls Club nearby was great for an evening meal or drink."
