Stopped over at the Linkwater our first night after arriving on the Ferry. A quite and well-appointed motel in a rural location - just perfect for winding down on our first night of vacation. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean, comfortable and had good internet access. More

When the host comes outside in the rain to greet you at 1am then shows you the room with a happy attitude and "sort the rest out in the morning" what kind of review can you give? Clean, tidy, comfortable and well needed rest. Had the room only shared amenities option. Worked great. More

Katerina gave us advice on routes to drive and... More

This is a wonderful motel in a fantastic location. We were late arriving and despite this, we were warmly welcomed by the co-owner Pat. Without any fuss, and in a heavy shower, he helped us to our warm, comfortable room. Nothing could be improved with this motel! Pat and his wife Katerina made our stay one of the best in... More
