“Good Overnight Stopover”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Clean room with good facilities. The bathroom was was clean, and had a good sized bath/shower. The kitchenette contained all we needed. Unfortuneately the air-con leaked water all over the bed during the night which made for a slightly interupted evening.
Pool was lovely and the office staff were friendly.
Parking for the rear units is VERY tight - need to reverse in so you can actually get your car out in the morning!!!

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Everything from check-in to check-out was great!! Rooms are modern and very tasteful, hosts very friendly and helpful and had great recommendations for dinner! The town centre is just a short walk from the motel through the park.
A big thumbs up to this one!
