It's certainly a budget motel but the caretakers are lovely people. No toilet in the room I had so it was a communal amenities block which wasn't a problem. The pool looked really great but I didn't have a dip in it. The camp kitchen was the winner for me.

This property has the feel of a hostel but it is clean and has a camp kitchen which is extensively equipped. Initially we had an issue with keys fitting doirs and room not made up. The host imnediately upgraded us, with apology, to a room with an ensuite and fully equipped kitchen. The facility to cook food via the camp kitchen or in room is one we valued as the food choices in town were expensie and not to our taste. The bathrooms were well stocked with soaps, shampoos and body wash normally expected with higher cost hotels. The beds were very comfortable. The staff were amicable and helpful at all times. I would stay again.

The best thing about this property is the people. Everyone I met was helpful, and the proprietor went out of her way to meet my needs. The property is undergoing some renovation following floods, but was able to provide a good quality bed, and better extras than I got in city properties.
