Beautiful view, lovely staff
Beautiful view and outlook from our lake side room. The room was a bit dated, needs a refresh. Comfy bed and great aircon. Overall a good place to stay, close by to shops (10min walk or 2min drive). Staff were so lovely, checked in with us multiple times. Would stay again :)

The location and layout of the 2 bedroom accommodation is very convenient and there is an excellent restaurant adjoining the motel. The fittings and beds in the room were very dated and at a minimum the mattresses could be replaced to provide a more pleasant rest.
