Lovely stay - the pool was great and the motel within easy walking distance to a good range of eateries. The room was clean, well-appointed and dark for sleeping. Would have been good to have seats outside the room after a day of driving. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing not to like

One of the best country motels. Right in town, 2 blocks from the shopping centre and supermarket, over the road from the Port of Sale and great breakfast included in the price. There is nothing not to like
