I had a very disappointing experience at this motel. The room was in poor condition—definitely not what I expected. There were no basic facilities provided, not even the essentials you'd normally find in a standard room. The overall stay was uncomfortable, and I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent night’s rest.

Hotel is a good stay if you are a backpacker or group of friends. Not ideal for family as is super loud and tends to have partiers staying! Good walkable distance to town and convenient. Right on lake front

The social club restaurant also shares the same building. The rooms and facilities were out dated. We had a family room right at the end, unfortunately for the other guests our baby was unsettled and you could hear her crying quite far away. The restraint was good with god portion sizes. Heating in the rooms consisted of portable heaters which was good just be mindful where to set them up if you have young children. Apart from that the staff are friendly and the view from the restaurant of the lake is beautiful

The room was extremely nice and well appointed. The view from the front windows is amazing. The thing that put us off the most was the incredible amount of noise from the Social Club Restaurant directly above us. We found the bed to be quite hard. Once the noise stops(The restaurant closed at 9.00pm) we thought it was good value for money.
