Professional and friendly staff. Sue was particularly helpful and great to communicate with us and nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable rooms that were spacious and clean. We didn’t need to use the microwave etc but it was very well equipped making it possible to prepare a snack or meal easily. Great cafe as well on site serving good coffee and tasty reasonably priced food.

Such a cosy, warm and homely feel, was the perfect accomodation to complete our trip. The heated indoor pool was a great place to chill in and teach the little one to swim. The owners were so accomodating and helpful from check in till check out

The check-in process was easy. The service was excellent. The room was clean and tidy. I got a good nights sleep since the place was quiet even though it is right next to the highway. There is a cafe onsite that is under new management and the food and service there was absolutely great. Highly recommended!

Our room was clean and tidy and in fact the whole outside complex was clean and well maintained, good location with easy access to the river walk paths. Indoor heated pool is also a great added extra.

Lovely motel would definitely stay again. Pillows a little on the hard side, but got a good night's sleep and tea and coffee available. Also there is a little cafe on site for breakfast but unfortunately we were running late, it smelt great

The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean, although a little outdated. The rooms were quiet and the motel was situated on a quiet street close to the highway (however only minimal highway noise could be heard). The staff were very accommodating. There was one bed light not working on the single bed - however was not a problem as all other lights were working. Shower utilised a clean shower curtain and the bathroom was also a little outdated, but very clean. The onsite cafe was absolutely fantastic with delicious food catering for all tastes. I would highly recommend this motel. It is a little difficult to locate initially as not directly accessible from the highway, but once the route is located is very easy to access.

Exactly what U hope for in a small motel. Lovely staff, very clean, great facilities. Cafe was a bonus. Writing extra now because Trip advisor has a minimum word count of two hundred characters. Need six more.

A great place to stay for a family of three adults. From the booking process to leaving, Sue was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. We had a very late check and everything was organised as agreed via phone previously. The family room - one double and one single bed was perfect for what we needed. As a bonus the little cafe - The Three Pots - has nice coffee with lovely people to greet you. We didn’t have any food but it looked delicious. Highly recommend this place.
