I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years but this was the first time in the last 5 years. Although the rooms could have a refresh, the motel has everything I need. Easy access to a supermarket, restaurants, and shopping, Each room has a kitchen to cook meals (microwave and oven) and the rooms are spacious. A nice touch in winter is the electric blankets on the beds.

Regret booking to stay 10 - 13 March (3 x nights). Only very basic service provided each day and communication from the staff was difficult. The motel feels in many areas like it has not been upgraded since it was originally built in the 1970s. Carpet was also lifting in some areas presenting a trip risk / hazard. Request for at least 1 x night refund for my inconvenience / poor experience.

The property is in a good location and the hosts were welcoming and pleasant. The apartment we stayed in needs some TLC and could have been cleaned more throughly.

The motel room was very dated and was dark and dingy. The room appeared not to have been cleaned for a long time. There was a large spider web on the window in one room, food in the cutlery draw and thick dust all over the surfaces. The window in the main bedroom did not close. The bathroom needs to be renovated. A good clean and update to the bathroom would improve this accomodation.

Unfortunately we left early. We couldn't stay our whole trip. Although the staff were lovely. The rooms weren't up to expectations. There was mould in the shower, no kids area they could actually play in. The double bed was 2single beds pushed together that kept separating through the night.
