Beautiful view, lovely staff
Beautiful view and outlook from our lake side room. The room was a bit dated, needs a refresh. Comfy bed and great aircon. Overall a good place to stay, close by to shops (10min walk or 2min drive). Staff were so lovely, checked in with us multiple times. Would stay again :)

The location and layout of the 2 bedroom accommodation is very convenient and there is an excellent restaurant adjoining the motel. The fittings and beds in the room were very dated and at a minimum the mattresses could be replaced to provide a more pleasant rest.

It was a nice stay , it was reasonably close to the Fernleigh track which was nice but not so close to walking track on the lake . It was very noisy with road noise we were on the 1 st floor but I guess you can’t help that

No servicing of room during our 2 night stay. Had to go to reception on both nights to request coffee sachets. Room was clean and modern and reasonably spacious. Small kitchens was handy but did notice base of microwave was rusted - a bit of a concern
