Very deserted feeling motel. Only saw a staff member once but that was only after I had to ring a number and wait for her to arrive. The office was never open and the laundry room was locked. Carpet in unit dirty and sticky feeling. Sofa rock hard to sit on.

Such a cool motel. I didn’t realise when I booked that it is Japanese themed, so the decor was a real novelty. We had a 2 bedroom family unit and it was perfect with a huge outdoor area too. I really appreciated that there were loads of hooks and rails for towels and clothes in the bathroom, as that was something lacking in other places we stayed on our holiday. And the biggest bonus was that we could use the motel washing machine and dryer for free - so handy! The motel is just a short (2 minute) walk to a nice reserve, Pak n Save and many other shops, and a short distance to the motorway too. The lady who runs the motel is incredibly nice and let us check in early.

Personne à l'accueil lors de l'arrivée. Difficile à joindre et peu aimable. Pour le reste, le logement est convenable.
