Liked: Cleanliness
It is nice & handy place to Town, Supermarket, Food outlets & Liquor store. It needs better drainage for the shower as the water overflowed onto the floor drenching the bath mat. Also there was no egg flip so had to buy one to cook the eggs we bought. Other than these, it was a pleasant stay

The whole complex was old and tired. The room lacked everything. The pillows were so thin 5 would fit in 1 pillowcase. No dessert spoons in cutlery tray. The motel was not manned. The staff were all off site so they had to be contaced by phone and you were left waiting while they attended to other tasks. All in all Iwas extremely disappointed and wont be re booking

Great place to stay, the one small niggle was slight flooding in the bathroom due to the design. It could be mitigated with a wider shower curtain that was closer to the floor. However that said, we really enjoyed our stay.
