We recently stayed at the Windmill Motel on an overnight stop. After travelling long hour it was so refreshing to be greeted with outstanding customer service on check in. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and had all we needed. We enjoyed a meal at the restaurant which was good value and was the best butter chicken ever had. We will be back.

Overnight stay

The layout of the apartment was comfortable enough. The space between bed and wardrobe a bit on the tight side. The lack of kitchen equipment very disappointing. Just two of everything, no knife or cutting board to slice a tomato etc and only two bowls and two side plates, no main size plates. We had to use face washer to dry the cups as no tea towel was supplied. For the price we paid it was disappointing.

I have stayed here before and as usual the rooms are immaculately clean and spacious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had booked a room not realizing that it was upstairs and the staff were able to organize a ground floor room for me - thank you so much. Will definitely stay here again when I'm in town.
