    A little gem hidden away just off the highway
    Facilities in the motel rooms second to none, great spot down at the river camping ground for families just doesnt seem to get the use that it deserves. Meals at the hotel were great as was the host. Would recommend a stay for anyone who wants a bit of class in amongst the…

    Sweet Spot
    Just as advertised. Cosy motel with beautiful surrounds. Free WiFi and basic kitchen facilities (microwave, cutlery, dishes, fridge and kettle). Good value for money. A little noisy with trucks at night on the highway but my earplugs easily blocked the noise.

    Clean and modern
    Not suitable for cooking/preparing own food, had to wash up in bathroom as no sink. Cabin on back was not to noisy from main road. Plenty of bees and wasps trying to get in however there was mesh over the windows. Hot night and no air con. Bed comfortable. OK for 1 night.

    "Biggest bathroom ever"
    "Rooms at the back of the cabin block likely to be quieter. WiFi available in the tavern."
    "Ask for a room at the rear of the block - less road noise."
    "Try and get one as far from highway as possible."
