We really enjoyed our time at this motel. It was super clean and cozy, and the staff were really nice. The room was warm when we got there because they had already heated it up for us. Parking was easy too. We’d definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Taylors Motel. Made to feel really welcome, felt like being at home. Hosts could not be more welcoming. Had a lovely swim in the spotless out door pool. So refreshing. Rooms exceptionally well maintained and clean. Bed really comfortable. Beautiful gardens. Thank you to our hosts.

Unit was lovely and clean and warm….the owner of the motel popped into the room while we were out and turned on the heat pump for us- room was so cosy and warm on a cold winters night. That was such a lovely thing to do.

It was a good general motel. A shame the pool was shut for the season and that wasn't noted on the listing, but a small thing. Also I think the sign said 'Spark Sport' and I couldn;t find that channell, but I didn't enquire so may have been available.
