Easy to find. No kitchen sink. Had to wash dishes in bathroom. The immediate environment needs to be tidied up. Rather expensive for this motel.

No go
The room was sub-standard for the price. I would not recommend or return.

A motel that needs investment.
An empty motel in peak season was the first warning. Initial appearance on entering the room was good. A spacious well appointed bedroom kitchenette with en-suite bathroom. Lack of air conditioning. The mattress was so soft it made sleep uncomfortable.A tiny shower cubicle and a bathroom abundant in moths and black fly made me reticent to use it. We ran out of toilet paper which was so thin that we bought our own. A very friendly owner doesn’t compensate for an experience I would not like to replicate.

Steve the manager is excellent. He went out of his way to look after us and took us into town.
He was so lovely and helpful.
Definitely recommend.

Friendly reception. Parked car at door. Spacious living area, good shower and toilet room.
Very helpful staff. The property is a bit remote and I wouldn’t recommend walking to Franz Joseph as road is busy.

The last resort
Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.
