Fantastic unit, but location is noisy.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jul 2023
Very friendly welcome. Fantastic location within a short walk to supermarket and fast foods. My King studio unit was modern, roomy, and spotlessly clean with extras like a full kitchen incl oven, shower with fantastic water pressure & separate bath. Bed was super comfy, with electric blanket. Definitely value for money here.
The only downside is the road noise being on SH1 and the units aren’t double glazed. If you’re a light sleeper like me the road noise might be an issue. I resorted to earplugs until the early hours, then from 3am it did quiet down.
Date of stay: July 2023
Room Tip: Studio unit Rooms 11, 12, 13 are further off the road.
Trip type: Travelled solo

Hotel standard was very good, spotlessly clean with all the facilities that could be needed. However if you are sensitive to road noise, take care, this is situated on SH1 and the traffic noise is continuous 24 hrs, didn't get much sleep either night that we stayed there.

Spotlessly clean, this motel has almost everything. The rooms are spacious. It is very comfortable (nice big bed) and extremely well-equipped with many thoughtful touches. It is also very ecological. Hosts John and Beth are pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended.

Stayed here 4 nights- quite comfortable. Restaurant was very good. French coffee press with coffee and milk in room (yeah!). Friendly staff. No AC (and it was hot when got there)- but had fans. Free WiFi in room. Self laundry facilities- which as hikers we appreciated! Only negative- shower was not great (fine line between freezing and scalding), but got the hang of it.
