We stayed one night, the receptionist was lovely very helpful showed us how to use the pool. The units are clean and tidy and have everything you need. Sorry but the lazy boy chair does need to go. Beds were comfortable, sheets nice and crisp. Nice and warm good heating. The views are lovely of the lake and the outside furniture is good.

It might have been because we were just a couple wanting to stay a single night, but despite having booked in advance we were given what appeared to be the pokiest unit in the whole place. It was in a corner that got no sunlight, right next to a passageway frequented by noisy guests, an outside light on all night and it had a nasty smell. Even worse, the glasses and cups had lipstick smears on them. The facilities were the most basic and no way was it worth $100 a night!

Booked a lake view studio in need of decoration otherwise adequate we planned on staying two nights but due to the country going into lockdown we left early in our haste we forgot our clothes in the wardrobe I called the motel and they organised having them couriered back to us hopefully after the covid-19 is over we can return for a few day as we found its in a great location as you have a good walk alongside the lake to all the restuarants and bars.

The place obviously was built in the 70s, and had not received any upgrades or maintenance since the day it was built. The room we were in certainly required a lot of TLC. The place was full, I think we got the last room, the whole town was full, so we were lucky to get somewhere. Was clean and tidy, just old and worn, a revamp is well overdue.
