This is an excellent motel, it was so clean and we loved the set up of the space with separate kitchen and bathroom in the larger room we booked. I was so impressed to see a recycling tub in the kitchen. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The location is very handy to town, just a short drive. Highly recommend.

Suited us well for an overnight before flying out the next day. I hadn't figured in the Road noise which increased around about 4.30am, but it wasn't horrendous and we were getting up soon anyway. Couldn't find a key drop when we left before opening hours.

It is an older motel but everything was very clean without any odours. The facilities were fine. The room was a bit on the small side for 4 people but we have small children so it was manageable. The motel was very quiet when we stayed there and felt safe. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is also a very nice cafe right next door which we only got to try the coffee but it was very good. Overall it was a very good experience for the surprisingly low price
