Beautiful view and outlook from our lake side room. The room was a bit dated, needs a refresh. Comfy bed and great aircon. Overall a good place to stay, close by to shops (10min walk or 2min drive). Staff were so lovely, checked in with us multiple times. Would stay again :)

No servicing of room during our 2 night stay. Had to go to reception on both nights to request coffee sachets. Room was clean and modern and reasonably spacious. Small kitchens was handy but did notice base of microwave was rusted - a bit of a concern

It was a nice stay , it was reasonably close to the Fernleigh track which was nice but not so close to walking track on the lake . It was very noisy with road noise we were on the 1 st floor but I guess you can’t help that

The motel was close to where i needed to be. Shower curtain had mould all on the bottom and in showered. The door to the room did not look very secure. Also i was charged double what other family members were who had a larger group. Very loud in the morning with people- kids running upstairs

Overpriced based on property condition, broken table, broken toilet seat, lumpy bed, paint peeling on walls, entry door is frayed, cold air under door, mould on bathroom door, nowhere to place items in shower. Property is very tired and rundown.

We loved the Squid's Ink. We stayed in the new section and it was wonderful. The room was small but suited us perfectly. The bathroom was fantastic, the bed comfortable and the room relatively quiet considering we were on the highway. We took our stand up paddle board and went paddle boarding from the back of the motel. It's also an easy walk into Belmont for coffee and dinner.

Lovely location and view by the water. Neat and clean. Beds were a little too hard, wirey and bouncy for comfortable sleep.

The Staff were very good, the bed was comfortable, and it had an amazing veiw of the lake and that makes up for the basic furniture. We were happy with oir 2 night stay. Great restaurant next door with a very cool vibe. We could see such potential for this hotel and you can see that the owners are slowly doing the place up. We were very happy with the car parking that was available both nights. Neat and tidy rooms, but the outside seating a little run down, but the veiws of the lake and magnificent sunset both nights made up for that. We would stay again. 😀
