We were hoping for a larger room with a balcony on an upper floor. The room on the ground floor would feel more spacious if its window is replaced py a door opening up on the common backyard! Also, we were expecting more flexibility regarding the checkout time, particularly since we arrived aroynd 5:00 pm the previous day!

We enjoyed our stay in the family suite with 5 people. Beds were soo comfy with 2 pillows each and bathroom was clean with fresh towels each day. Kids enjoyed the pool with towels available to use from the reception which was handy as our beach towels were wet. We enjoyed thos motel very much with a nice location and coffee van out the front.

Little gem

Rooms have been upgraded with new bathrooms and furnishings making them feel modern and fresh. When visiting family we stay in the balcony rooms which have a nice view of the lake. Quiet location yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff have always been friendly and helpful

Booked and paid for the family suite, but only provided with a quad room. Staff not at all interested in remedying the situation (2 night stay). Despite the inconvenience, we also paid more for the family suite. Agreed to pay at property, but full amount withdrawn prior to arrival. Shower leaks into main room. After hours check in process was easy. Wotif have been helpful.
