We stayed in a comfort double. It was a good size with a very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. The motel is away from the main road so nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The male staff at the reception was very helpful by flexible arrangement. Parking a car in front of each lodge as well as the kichen was convenient. The facilty in the room looks a little old, but considering the price, it was acceptable.
