The property is very dated. The shower had small dots of visible mold. Parking was difficult if you want to park late afternoon or evening, there is a boat and trailer that seem permanently parked and a couple staying were using two car parks so limited spaces available.

Lots of room and a great kitchen area. Friendly host and great security. I arrived late in the day, so it would have been nice to have the door and windows closed earlier, as it made for a cool night. The shower was poor pressure, but I didn't get a chance to check this with the owner - there may have been an issue. Otherwise, comfortable, good sleeps, easy week!

Staff were fantastic but thats where anything good i have to say ends. Very dated property and im sure the stairs in the unit are unsafe. Not only are they narrow and oddly shaped they are very unstable feeling. Beds were uncomfortable, shower and kitchen had the basics however was damaged and dated, mold on the shower curtain and a poorly repaired light. Also no heating on fan in there. Not to mention the poor shower pressure. The owner seemed to have taken up quite a few parks in the limited car park.The list of cons definitely out weigh the pros. For the price point its very disappointing.

Although I arrived at the motel earlier than the check in time, they had a room available for me., even after the staff were all busy that morning after a huge number of guests were checking out.. On one occasion I couldn't open my room door but one of the staff immediately came to my rescue. Staff are fantastic.
