Website states ‘superior smoke free accommodation’ and this was my primary reason for choosing this motel for a six night stay. Beside our door was a pot with several cigarette butts in it. For 4 of the 6 nights of our stay occupants of the neighbouring unit smoked and vaped right outside our door. We had to shut our windows to try and keep as much of the smoke out as possible, hence no fresh air. A notice on the wall instructed occupants to smoke outside only. This is clearly NOT a smoke free environment. Very disappointing. Otherwise, the motel was clean and close to the lake and to town as described on the website.

Room was a good size and really clean. We arrived late so our room was set up for us to head straight in to. Unfortunately there is no sound proofing so you could hear the people above, and every car out side. It was on the expensive side but i did book only a few hours before arriving
Fresh milk would jave been good as the uht .milk supplied wasnt enough for two coffees. There was a note that fresh milk was available from the office but it was 5am when i noticed and i was not waking tje moteliers at that hour. $100 hold was put on my card amd i had to phone to follow this uo tje next day as it wasn't released.
