Beechtree Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The Motel was close to shops and amenities. Balcony had a great view of the lake. Easy access. The only thing to complain about was the hairdryer. Can't use it for more that a view seconds then it would cut out and had to wait for it to cool off. Took me ages to dry my hair. My need an up grade."
