"Beautiful and clean property. I do have to highlight that the bedroom and bathroom are very tiny compared to kitchen and living space. I found you have to go side on to get past the bed and there isn't room to dry yourself after the shower without bashing into the bathroom door. Loved the muffins and coffee. Thank you"

"A nice clean well presented motel with a new restaurant. However units lacked some amenities such as a microwave, toaster, small hand towels, cutlery and Crockery other than those needed for making a cup of tea or coffee."
