Good location
Good location, very clean. The walls are a bit thin and it could do with a make over.
Great facilties including a swimming pool and the unit had its own spa.
Cleaners did excellent job daily.
Handy to centre of town and dining facilities-all walkable. Handy to all activities in the Bay.
Loved how neat it is and the friendly family owners. I recommend better toiletries in the bathroom but that is only a minor thing. The pool looks small but we actually had so much fun with the our kids in it and the motel provided the towels, awesome!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay, felt welcomed when picking up our key. Lovely room and so spacious, everything we needed, only downfall is we wished we stayed longer. Will definitely choose them again when we are up this way and we'll bring our kids. Thank you.
The room was fit for purpose that met our needs. The staff are lovely and were positively responsive to a little mishap with a hose that was left running by other people which left a little bit of our floor wet. They gave us a fan and towels to fry it off and even treated us with some burgers. Going the extra mile with a smile. Thank you for your hospitality.
