Comfortable quiet stay
Great repeat stay in this motel - 11 years apart. Quiet and comfortable room with spa bath and great view over the bay. About 2 kilometres from the town centre - 35 minute walk along the bay footpath.

Lovely relaxing break
We had a lovely stay in our lodge. It was in a very peaceful location at the end of the lake walkway. The kitchen area was fully stocked with cup glasses pots etc. the room was comfortable with chairs and cushions. The highlight was undoubtedly the spa bath on the patio. It was easy to fill and stayed hot for a long time. The garden area was also beautiful. Although to claim a lake view was optimistic there was a privacy fence in the way.

Great choice
Probably the best laundry facilities in the whole country! That was welcome and needed at that stage of our trip. Large washers, real dryers, and ample hanging racks. So great! Some internet connection issues, and private pool drained and not useable, but would stay again in a minute.

We had a beautiful, spacious room with a view of the lake. With a heated outdoor pool, a view, walkable to town, and helpful hosts, this accommodation ticked all the boxes. A special shout-out to the managers and cleaning staff who were kind and considerate. I would definitely recommend.

This accommodation is spacious and comfortable. Loved the bed! We were in room 17 and it had a fabulous view of the lake. The heated pool is a bonus but with the cold outside temperatures currently it wasn’t quite hot enough. It sits at 35 but really needs to be up around 38 for it to be a pleasant soak that keeps you warm. The location is a little bit from the town but still quite central. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.
