Property was very tidy. room was spacious and had all I needed in it. Bathroom was very tidy and clean and pressure was good. Loved the idea of collecting the excess water for the gardens ( as there was a water shortage in the area ) from the shower warming up. Close to town but still quiet .

See the Underworld
The facility was easy to find, within walking distance of shops but a little out of the centre. Everything was new and clean with friendly welcome. The only fault I could find (and which seems to be common so far on this trip) was no ice cube tray for the fridge!

Good, comfortable mote
Good, comfortable motel. As a light sleeper, some traffic noise experienced from the front room. However, after 10.00pm or so it was okay as there was only the occasional truck / car. (Best to request rooms at back of the property).
