First time booking accommodation in the area as opposed to staying with friends. Easy, very friendly service. Expectations of the property and operation etc are straight forward and understandable. Property looks to have been renovated since original. In my opinion, sets a high standard for a motel accommodation. I booked the room with the spa and was very happy with my experience!

Getting a bit sad and tired
"This resort was built to a budget and after the years has more than a few maintenance problems. No big stuff, but things like slow delivery of hot water, toilet doors that won’t close. But it is clean and comfortable and serves the purpose of providing a safe dry roof over the tenants’ heads."
