This motel was a great find. Having been recently renovated, our rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and despite the noise from guests next door, we slept very well. We had a lovely view of the lake across the road, with great access to walking/cycling tracks, and parks with a fabulous coffee truck at the door. This will be our regular accommodation in the area from now on.

We enjoyed our stay in the family suite with 5 people. Beds were soo comfy with 2 pillows each and bathroom was clean with fresh towels each day. Kids enjoyed the pool with towels available to use from the reception which was handy as our beach towels were wet. We enjoyed thos motel very much with a nice location and coffee van out the front.
