I find this motel a perfect distance from the interislander ferry - a 50 min drive. It’s operated by the owners and it is a generational family business. A a former motelier I thoroughly recommend it.

This is a great overnight stop off when travelling with dogs. It is a little traffic noisey but then you are not far off the main route for the next day! It is very clean and good walking space for dogs. Town has a few food options and great fish and chips. Meet and greet efficient and we had lovely fresh linen and strong shower!
