Family visit

This motel was a great find. Having been recently renovated, our rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and despite the noise from guests next door, we slept very well. We had a lovely view of the lake across the road, with great access to walking/cycling tracks, and parks with a fabulous coffee truck at the door. This will be our regular accommodation in the area from now on.
