We only stayed one night. The staff were friendly and ensured we were settled in. The room was clean, had all we needed and the bed was comfy.
The only thing I found a tiny bit less than satisfactory was the shower.
All in all, a great place to stay and not overpriced.

This motel was perfect for our two night stay. Close enough to town centre to stroll, grab a bite, and look aroun.

The room was small and quite dated. The pool area really didn't look very nice at all and we didn't use it. Likewise the garden area. Things have definitely been neglected since the photos were taken. The laundry facilities were locked at all times and we got the impression that the owner didn't really want the guests using it at all even though it's advertised as an amenity.

So was good for that.
The negative is the property and outside places, very run down broken outdoor furniture, bbq overgrown bt weeds , area's closed off due to maintenance that looks years old. Interior of our unit had cracked hand basin and loose taps, cracked plaster rips in bedroom nets.
Generally the whole place needs major maintenance to attract customers.

Stayed only one night and just needed a bed to sleep in, so fulfilled that need. Otherwise I would not choose to stay longer as for the price, it was old and dated, taps had cold and hot separate which wastes water, and the walls are thin which allowed for hearing the music and voices from the next room. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the room was clean.

The room was nice, clean, had all you needed for your short stay. The cleaner was excellent, room was done up every day. The grounds outside were rough. Needed a lot of maintenance. The pool area was very unattractive, the Bar B Que area was overrun with weeds . That entire areas was run down. Which is too bad as you can see at one time the place was quite elegant. Other wise, it was OK , I would stay again. Generally a bit high cost wise for what you got.

It met our needs, and very well cleaned and serviced, but the bathroom/toilet was cramped and awkward and the hot water seemed to have failed in the handbasin. The 'bedside' lights over our bed were fixed and bright spotlights out of easy reach, making it difficult for me to go to bed and maybe sleep while leaving a light on for my partner to enter later. Proper bedside lights with easily accessible on/off (or preferably dimmable) switches would have been more convenient.
