We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sally, the owner was helpful with local information. She was happy to re-freeze our esky ice bricks to make onward travel easier. Yes, it is an older motel, but delightfully refurbished. The room and bathroom were spotless as was bbq area. The pool was very pleasant on a hot day. All in all we couldn't have asked for more. We had a very pleasant stay in a great value motel.
