I really enjoyed staying here. Beautiful room and comfortable bed. It was great value for a room with spa bath. No river view from the room, but we enjoyed strolling along the river. Everything was satisfying. One of the best motel stay in my life. I would like to stay again. Thank you for very helpful service.

Great place with a rustic yet modern feel. Loved the exposed rafters in the roof and the reclining leather couches were comfy. The kitchen was clean and well laid out and the apartment itself was spacious giving a family plenty of room without the feeling of being on top of each other.

Stayed at Riverview for one night after picking up one negative comment on Trip Advisor but wished we had stayed for two. Lovely big room with separate very well equipped kitchen and spotlessly clean. Nice bedroom with very comfortable sofa to relax on and watch TV. Could not have asked for more but stayed second night at Fiesta Motel which... More

I chose this accommodation on the basis of TripAdviser reviews, and after staying there I wondered if there were actually two Riverviews, and I'd stumbled into the wrong one! First the good bits - it was very clean, inexpensive, handy to the shops, we really did have a "river view", and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The bad... More

One of the best motels we have ever stayed in. The reception was very friendly and mad eus feel very welcome. Room (14) was very spacious and clean and smelled very fresh. Nice chairs to relax in, large bed and spa bath to sooth the travel away. Received discount to restaurant and corporate rates at motel so was extremely good... More

I had two nights at this relaxing motel - I wish it could have been longer. The wifi is brilliant, the kitchen clean and the bed very comfortable. I arrived here after 34 hours in transit from the UK, so the fact that I suffered no jet lag is testament to the good night's sleep I had. The people who... More

Unfortunately only stayed for one night but took their card for future reference. Tidy and clean unit with brand new comfortable sofa. Had everything one wanted. The couple running this motel were very friendly and gave us ideas where to eat. Close to townn so we walked to the main street which was only 10mins away. Motel is situated right... More

We could only stay one night but had a self contained unit that was more like a first class hotel room with a panoramic view of the river. Very friendly and helpful proprietor and close to town centre and pleasant walks along the river

We stayed just one night at this great little motel but could have stayed a week. The accommodation was more like a spacious appartment than a motel suite and included a fully equipped large kitchen. Additionally a laundry is available for the use of guests. The proprietor was unbelievably helpful to the extent of insisting on hanging out the washing... More
