Champers Motor Inn
Room was stuffy, spider webs everywhere, wouldn't reccomend. When checking in the person was rude and not welcoming at all.

The Angus Hotel
Tidy room, super handy to things like supermarket, mall etc. The team were lovely. Shower was a little luke warm, but that was sorted. The restaurant was good! Great burger 🍔

Settlers Motor Lodge
Parking was secure and right beside the unit we were in. Other units the parking was directly in front of the ranch slider. With parking so close to the unit door it did not matter what the weather was doing when putting gear in the car.

Harbour View Lodge
My room was clean. The Tv didn’t work, the fridge was a small makeup fridge not a bar fridge and the shower drain was blocked so flooded not just my bathroom but also my room and the hallway
