The room size was Excellent. Nice Bathroom. Soft comfortable beds. Nice kitchen. Nice views outside our room. No Dislikes.Value for money. Will go there again.
Extremely high standard of accommodation.
Cleanliness unmatched, roomy bathroom with easy access shower and handy shelve to hold your toiletries…unlike others where nothing is available.
Main room is huge with efficient heating and tidy kitchen as big as some 3 bdrm homes.
Comfy as bed and plenty of storage space for your luggage and footwear.
Great deck with easy ramp access for all ages out to your vehicle
Not my first stay to at chalet’s of the AWA Motel and definitely won’t be my last 10/10
Had a room downstairs. Studio with a king bed and a single. Big, spacious room and bathroom. Had everything you needed. Easy check in and check out. Would definitely stay again.
We stayed in one of the cabins and found it comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful with an easy walk into town.
Definitely recommend to others 😊
I love the cabin! It was perfect for the both of us. We got to the motel after a nerve-wrecking 5 hour drive, mostly in the dark. As we pulled into the property, the receptionist just locked up the office. She greeted us, regardless of the time, and helped us to check-in. She was so lovely. She even left the lights of our cabin on for us so we could easily identify it.
The cabin was so spacious for the 2 of us. We love the little orange tree outside the cabin and the parking space next to our cabin. I absolutely would recommend booking this place.
