A very nice motel. Excellent value, nice rooms and a very helpful manager. We wanted to play golf and he arranged a voucher to obtain discounted green fees at the adjacent Nelson Golf Club. More

Hi Snakebite, Thanks for your review. We are happy you found our accommodation good and reasonable and you liked the benfits of our location.
