Smart TV was a bonus. Proximity to town good. Largish rooms. Unfortunately, the bath over shower was hard for us oldies to get in and out with no shower mat. Our beds weren’t made at all which is unusual. The kettle didn’t work well. Also the previous owner’s did the website three years ago so not relevant.

Very noisy group were staying there at same time a large group of High School Rugby Players who were thumping around and yelling made it hard for myself and two grand children to get to sleep. Would have been more pleasant stay if this hadn't happened. Motel itself very nice.

Noisy neighbours
Noisy neighbours led to very little sleep for all. Lack of after hours management to monitor behaviour meant a disruptive night for all other guests
