Lovely hosts and super clean! Yes, it's an older motel, but it was so clean and serviced daily. Really easy to find and access from a busy road, had convenient parking outside the room, and it was surprisingly quiet considering its location! Felt really safe as a woman staying on my own and the private thermal pool was a lovely treat too. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Enjoyed our short stay here, facilities are good. Nicely situated across the road from the water however, road is very busy but didn’t bother us much. The only issue is entering or exiting the property can be tricky as it’s right on a bend in the road.
