We stayed at the Spa Lodge for a couple of nights over Easter this year. We had a family unit with two bedrooms as we had family with us. The unit was ideal for a family group. The little ones had easy access to the playground - trampoline, pool, etc but remained easily within sight of the adults at all... More

When you are looking for basic value and not 5 star luxury, this is a good choice. We stayed one night but will return for a longer stay next time (have already booked it). The bed was comfy, the unit was basic, clean, tidy and quiet. Walking distance to the main street, shops, cafes, bars and the Hot Pools (a... More

We only stayed the one night and I wish it was longer. We had a family unit and my 2 girls had a wonderful sleep in the large single beds (king singles i think) and my Husband and I loved our big comfy bed (super king?). The unit had every thing you need and was a very clean with heaps... More

We stayed with our two children in a two bedroom unit at this motel for a family weekend away. The room was clean and tidy, but despite some evidence of updating (new TV, new vanity and kitchen taps, new vinyl flooring), the unit presented as a bit tired. It was probably motel of the year in 1972. The main bedroom... More

Within yards of the pools, cafes and main street oh and stumbling distance from the bars..do I know this from experience..not telling! Basic unit with decor reflecting it's age - not somewhere you would stay for luxury stay however, if it's just a warm comfy bed you want, this place will suffice.

Very comfortable accommodation, tidy and clean, not 5 star but great value and within short walking distance to thermal pools. Not on the main street which makes it much quieter. Very friendly and helpful owners, and superb value for money. Would definitely recommend.

The comments of the other reviewers sum it up pretty good but I am giving it an "Excellent" in terms of value for money, this was the cheapest accommodation of our whole 30 night trip but we found it very comfortable with everything we needed and certainly very convenient to the hot spring pools. We only wish we were there... More

This is a family-oriented motel with a good garden and its own pool in an excellent location, very close to the spa but quietly tucked away just off the main street. Our 1-bedroom unit was very spacious, though the decor and facilities were a little dated - but this is reflected in the price.

This place was a great find, directly opposite the hot springs and yet tucked away. Great value for money, rooms are slightly dated but the new owners are doing it up slowly. Good price for the excellent location.
