Lonely Planet review

From the buttery mock sandstone facade to the light and cheerful rooms, everything about this fine motel smacks of quality. Interiors are generously roomy and immaculate and the bathrooms sparkle.

The cheapest rooms provide enough facilities for a continental breakfast, but a step up in price will get you a fully-equipped kitchen. Interconnecting rooms create two-bedroom units if you're sporting a clan. The more modern and expensive rooms towards the back of the building actually have a bit too much room and the modest furnishings look a little lonely inside, but two of them have excellent disabled facilities. If you're camped out upstairs you'll enjoy a patch of balcony behind an alabaster wrought iron railing. The owners are very warm and obviously take a lot of pride in their property.
