Wonderful stay

One of the best motels we stayed in during our 5 week tour of Australia and New Zealand. Exceptionally well laid out and maintained accommodation in separate cabins with nice surroundings. Great service and welcome from the proprietor. Can highly recommend and hope to come back some day!

We loved staying and cant wait to go back.

What a fantastic place to stay and we will definitely be back for a longer stay. The rooms are only 2 months old and Angela and Paul have done a great job. They were perfect hosts and very friendly. The bed was so comfortable and after a long day of travelling, we over slept the next morning!
