We stayed here for 2 weeks for fly-fishing. Our 2-bedroom unit was large, well equipped for cooking, comfortably furnished, an easy walk into Gore to shop, dine or visit the public rose garden, and a convenient drive to fishing streams. Kelly and James, the proprietors, are friendly, welcoming and helpful. We will stay here again next season.

A motel that has everything you need

Lovely rooms that look to have been recently renovated. You have everything you need in the room for a comfortable stay. They offer good amenities. Lovely people who run it. Good parking right outside your room. They have a range of sky channels. Comfy bed.
