Good value for what we paid. Unit was clean and tidy with plenty of room, bathroom area exceptional. Bonus was one of their dogs, coming to the door and wanting to play throw with the stick or stone.

We liked that the motel is near the town centre so getting our daily supplies was easy and is also nearer to Lake Matheson. The motel is a little dated which is understandable based on the value we got from the stay. There were 2 guard dogs (one black and one brown) that roam around the motel. The doggos were adorable and well-trained. Some visitors may not be comfortable with the dogs but we were fine with their company.
