The room and surroundings were very clean and tidy. Staff were very polite and the owners were very accommodating with our last-minute request to have our small elderly dog stay with us. All in all, it is a great place to stay and there are so many facilities i.e. Pool spa tennis court barbecue.

Ok but needs modernising

Location of the motel is very good. The site is large and has some scenic views from the grassed communal area but not from the cabins. The cabins are very dated, they need new kitchens, modern furniture and a lick of paint. The beds were very comfortable and shower has good water pressure, the cabins had been cleaned well. On reflection its very expensive for what you get in reality. The spa pool and the swimming pool were dirty so we did not use them.
