Clean and had everything we needed. Loved the retro themed decor and it did not feel like a motel. Tony and Di were friendly and their accommodation is reasonably priced and highly recommended!

The small and cozy building makes things feel personal and Di is a fabulous host. Very accommodating and the coffee is hot! The little kitchenette is so nice to have when you’re traveling

It was a real retro motel and was very well kept. The Owners were very welcoming, approachable and helpful. We were given an upgraded unit at no extra cost. The motel is situated in a good area, close walk to the Lake. It was a very enjoyable stay which we greatly appreciated.

The motel is conveniently located and is very clean. It's pet friendly but with no adverse smells. We managed to leave some valuable items and the owners were very quick to find them and have them ready for a relative to pick up. We'd stay here again.
