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.

Motel simple

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