Our stay at Cottage Mews

We have stayed at Cottage Mews before but quite a while ago. It is still a very nice place to stay but could do with some maintenance and updating.

Just stayed here overnight - but was fantastic - definitely the best motel we’ve stayed in whilst on our travels. Great selection of utensils so could actually cook a meal. Lovely hot bath and you could even wash your clothes for free in the laundry room. Great value for money. Would be lovely to stay here in the summer with being so close to the lake

David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay at Cottage Mews was great, the place is tidy and we liked having two toilets. But as we were 5 adults, the flat was a bit small for us. It was perfect for one night, it would have been tougher for a longer stay. We completely recommend Cottage Mews up to 4 people !!
Pearl, 1-night trip

Excellent on all aspects. Quiet convenient clean well equipped. Enjoyable stay.
Lynette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay at Two Mile Bay. Is only a short drive to Town. Is right on the lake front with a walk down the side of the motels to the lake edge. Had a lovely courtyard out the rear. Was very quiet. Room was nice. Had a spa bath in upstairs bedroom. Would definitely stay there again.
Karina, 1-night trip

Attention to detail top notch

Overall the stay at Cottage Mews was excellent. Lots of attention to detail from the welcome and goodbye emails, to the well appointed cottages with just about everything you could need. Washing machine free in laundry and dryer only $2. Plenty of eating options within walking distance. Only gripes were the small low pressure shower head, sound proofing not great between rooms and doors, floors and stairs all squeak. But these are minor gripes and overall would recommend this motel.
