Fairway Motel and Apartments

Fairway Motel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"The location was fantastic, just a short walk from town and a short drive from the new shopping centre. The staff were friendly and helpful and the condition of the room was great. Everything was super clean and well maintained, and I felt that the amenities and appliances provided were far beyond what I was expecting. Would absolutely stay again and recommend highly for families "
