Asure Colonial Lodge Motel
Manager was wonderful and support staff were super lovely too! The room was clean, with heaps of beds which surprised us. We only booked for two adults and a child, but you could easily sleep 5 people. Such a great place to stay if you have kids. We would definitely stay again 😊
