Lovely, friendly hostess greeted us upon arrival, gave us the key and showed us our room. The location is very handy to all amenities, 2 minutes drive to the local shopping centre, nice restaurants, New World for snacks and drinks, right on State highway 1 for easy access. Cleanliness is tops, bed very comfortable, compliments to the hosts and we shall return soon.

I have stayed here before, its a good location for traveling the island between centers, just out of town. The downside is the volume of heavy trucks on the main road outside late at night. Reasonably priced and same standards as most other motels for the price. There is a good restaurant close by for dinner, good menue and a welcoming roaring fire, in winter.

Travel break

Easy friendly check in. Lovely clean room and good facilities. Road noise a problem, I came prepared with ear plugs and got a reasonable night's sleep. - almost needs triple glazing to help and a door that blocks out noise. Apart from that I have stayed here 2-3 times and always enjoyed my stay.

The property was in a good location for an overnight stay but extremely noisy as it is on a main trucking route. The noise didn't stop until midnight!
