Lovely having a separate living area - reclining seating was awesome ! Very clean. Plenty of towels for both shower and spa bath.Location excellent - Countdown just next door
Nothing, all good ?
Close to town easy to walk. Supermarket was across the road.
The cot wasn’t set up when we arrived but was to much to set up.
Lovely welcome, clean, warm and comfortable. Great central location. Extra little touches nice.
The staff were so helpful. Allowed us to check in early and leave luggage behind while we went to play golf. Let us check out late too, so we could watch more Masters coverage. Couldn’t have been more accommodating.
It was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, comfortable and modern. Staff were nice and friendly.

Perfect location, close to town centre. Very comfortable room with good facilities.
Great location. Next door to supermarket. Unfortunately the fridge in our unit decided to stop working and we had to throw out all our food we had planned for breakfast. We advised the owner and he reimbursed us our breakfast money and investigated immediately. ?
Lovely, clean, modern units. Very warm and cozy, clean linen, a decent tv, well equipped kitchenette, nice bathroom, privacy, beds were firm but comfortable and fresh. Staff were super efficient and welcoming. Pool was a nice bonus. Very close to the centre of town and Woolworths for a convenient shop! Definitely one of the best motels I've stayed in.
Clean spacious and with lots of nice extras such as a coffee plunger with plunger coffee provided and lots of extra towels and shampoo etc ?
Great location. Very clean and comfortable.
My husband and son stayed their in the weekend and thought it was amazing..hosts were really nice and room was great..my son loved the pool. ?
Lovely apartment with good kitchen and bathroom. Very clean and new. Close to restaurants and walking paths.
Central location, a bit noisy, didn’t like how the units on the bottom floor felt like everyone could just look in , a 2nd floor would be better
Rooms very well catered for a holiday. Rooms very clean. Very close to Countdown for shopping.
no sun in Bedroom . Really needed a car as quite a walk to catch a bus.
We stayed in a one bedroom unit with spa. It was very spacious and clean with plenty of towels! There was an outside table and chairs. .Across the road from a large Woolworths supermarket that was open until 10pm. Lots of good eateries within walking distance. Highly recommended
All good
Good location, comfortable, value for money
Sign at sink warning of very hot water from the moment go!
