This was my first motel stay and it wasn’t to my usual standard. Accommodation requires modernisation (furniture and fabric), and some exterior lighting to be more welcoming after dark.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a really lovely experience overall! The room was clean, cosy, and well-maintained, and the location was perfect for what we needed. The bed was comfortable, and the ambiance made it easy to relax and unwind. The only small downsides were that the kettle was in poor condition (could use a replacement), and the room didn’t have a mirror outside the bathroom—which would’ve been convenient. Despite that, we truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

What an unexpected gem of a hotel. The rooms could have been slightly nicer (maybe some art on the walls or something to brighten the space)? That’s my only complaint. Otherwise, the WiFi worked great, the staff super friendly and the area was well taken care of and very relaxing. I stayed for only one night while passing through the area but can see returning if spending a week exploring the nearby parks and waterfalls.
