Our family had a great stay. The owners/ staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Very good value for money - we stayed in the 1 bedroom. Also loved that it was pet friendly with park just behind motel for running our dog around. Would definitely stay again.

Our hosts at Garden City went above and beyond to provide us with early access to our unit so that we could prepare for a family funeral nearby. They were friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home.

Unit could do with a refresh but was suitable for our 2 night stay. Staff were lovely. Would be nice to get a top up of Milk on 2nd day. Only 4 chairs for dining table so with a family of 5 someone had to sit elsewhere to eat.
