    Trying to get out on Saturday. We ended up turning left, going along the road a bit and turning down a side street on the right so we could head back the other way. Sunday was no problem to crossover. A very minor inconvenience, but worth it with it being so close to the event we were attending.

    Comfortable, spacious, quiet, assigned parking, lovely staff. Loved everything about the motel, minus 1 little thing.

    I guess in a perfect world the mezzanine bedroom upstairs would be fully blocked off, to make its separate bedroom from the rest of the unit.

    For a 3 star motel at a reasonable cost this place was just fine. The facilities were clean and the sheets and bedding were lovely.

    Good value, pleasant enough

    The shower water pressure was dismal - the only way to get decent water pressure upstairs is to have a hot water cylinder up there, and there didn't appear to be any room for it (inside anyway). All of the taps (kitchen and bathroom) needed to be turned a lot before water appeared - and they're all separate, not mixer taps, so the hot water gets *very hot* and could be dangerous for young ones. The provided frypan was dented and not flat and quite worn - being a non-stick surface, it really wasn't safe to use. The large family apartment is completely open-planned, meaning that you can hear everything that happens in the room, upstairs on the mezzanine floor (where the 2 single beds were), on the stairs and downstairs - around the queen bed (which is in the lounge), around the couch and in the kitchen. If you want to boil the kettle in the kitchen, or watch TV, etc and not disturb someone sleeping upstairs, that is not possible. They will hear every noise you make. You really all need to go to bed at the same time. Even though we were at the back of the motel, the road the motel is on is very busy. I was glad I had bought my ear plugs for sleeping. The stairs to the bathroom and mezzanine floor are narrow, someone less physically able could struggle with them (the toilet and bathroom are upstairs). There were lamps on each side of the queen bed but only 1 worked. I had to put a t-shirt over my lamp as it was so bright that it lit the whole of the upstairs room where our teens were trying to sleep.

    We chose the large family apartment as we were 2x adults and 2x older teens. It felt roomy and had enough windows to make it feel spacious and open too. The beds were very comfortable and so was the carpet. The place was tired but clean. There was a stove top, oven, microwave and kettle, plus a small fridge. You don't often see all of those provided in this price range. The bathroom was a good size and had 4x hooks for towels, and 2 large cubbyholes for storage. There was a hairdryer provided as well. There was reasonable bench space in the kitchen, a small table that could sit 3, plus you could also eat on the couch, using the coffee table. The lighting was very bright - this could be a positive or a negative. There was a hanging ceiling light, lamps near the beds and a fluorescent strip light in the kitchen and above the dining table. The curtains were a lovely gold colour (but not blackout curtains).

    Outside looked a little shabby, could maybe do with a paint for next summer season but was pleasantly surprised with inside. Maybe supply fresh milk on arrival instead of small uht pottles, small detail but makes a difference. Not to criticise but to help improve.

    Clean, comfortable & quiet!
