"The whole experience was very bizarre. We couldn’t get a hold of the hotel to confirm check in (as mention on our itinerary it was essential to do) however none of the numbers provided worked, finally got thru via email and I was told someone would be there at 5. But our check in stated from 3. We arrived at 3 hoping we could get checked in only to be told by a lady eating chips on the porch that they “decided 3pm would be too early so changed it to 5pm but on your booking it will still say 3...

Panorama Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Lovely spacious room in a great location. Would stay again in an instant"

Cedar Lodge Motel

6/10 Okay

"Unit good but two issues detracted from a more pleasant stay. On entering the unit a threatening notice demanded guests wash and dry all their dishes otherwise incur a $50 charge - not exactly welcoming. The cabinetry above the sink is too far forward and it’s easy to bang your head - especially as the tap is back against the wall. In all the motels we have stayed at I’ve only encountered this once before. "
