We loved staying here. Units were clean tidy and comfortable, water pressure was out the gate. Its pet friendly which was a big draw card for us. The only thing we didn't like was parking. The driveway was extremely narrow and parking at times could be congested and challenging. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and we would be happy to reccomend The Northcote Motor Lodge to all travellers. We will be back💕🐾
