Nice little Motel
When we checked in Trevor gave the best introduction to the hotel and the town i have ever had. He explained where everything was what was good to see and gave us a map with sites highlighted. He and his wife Erica were on hand any time we needed anything. Location was great and the motel was very quite. Very friendly.

Response from Trev & Erica on 21 Feb 2023
Guest tried to check in at 10:05 am. Slept in and failed to check-out at 10am, we had to knock on the door to move them on. Used the BBQ and never bothered to clean. Left the room in a disgusting mess. I told Colleen she should be ashamed of themselves, she did not seem to care. Have since black listed this guest.

Hosts are a lovely, friendly couple. The property is easy to find & close to everything. Unfortunately there is a hotel nearby where they played music all Saturday night (5.45am & still going). The rest of our stay was peaceful though & with the tinkle of the stream next to us, sleep wasn't a problem. Love this place!

We found the property in need of up-grading, it was a bit tired looking. Of all the motels we stayed at on our SI tour this was the most expensive for what was offered.

Response from Trev & Erica on 12 Mar 2022
? Thanks Peter, we appreciate you staying with us. A bit confused on the the upgrade/tired comment. As the studio has only recently been painted, carpeted, new furniture/bedding etc. This is not consistent with other guest comments.

Had a lovely ground floor garden room from which we enjoyed breakfasting on the private patio and listening to the bird life. The studio room has a very comfortable super king bed with ample space and included a kitchenette with everything we required. Our hosts were welcoming and very accommodating, especially with the Covid safety required.
