Reviews
"Nice clean room let's see if it's noisy! Well not noisy but hair-dryer came off the wall. Cockroach on the teabags and they weren't sealed packets. No tissues or bin in the bathroom. Tiny room and bathroom and shower curtain stuck to you. Oh and the TV remote was broken and the batteries held in with tape! Poor quality!!"
"Nice motel, simple room with a kitchenette and a modern bathroom. While the bathroom was nice, there was nowhere to put a towel, no towel rack and not even a hook for the hand towel. It’s a good location and there is a wonderful restaurant right by reception called Tinta. The motel is 2 storeys and there is an elevator to get upstairs if your room is one of the ones upstairs."
"Was going to book for two but decided to what one was like first. First of all check prices if staying more than 1 night because you will pay the same price the next night even if it is cheaper. Had to wait till nearly 4pm before I could get in and my Waterview was a staircase view. And people eating at the restaurant just outside the door 2-3 metres away till after 9pm. And lights left on all night outside seeping into the room keeping it bright.would be nice if there were extra blankets in the room not everyone prefers aircon and 1 sheet and a thin blanket doesn't cut it. And cleanliness ave on top of the shower sill 2 used soap bars and a razor. Broken freezer in the fridge. Might be worth it at Sunday rates of $80 but not the $144 I paid and a small room shower was good."
"We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights in this beautiful location. The service, cleanliness and bedding is 5 star.The manager is friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back for a longer stay.Thank you Andrew for your hospitality."
"What a great spot. Worked out perfectly for one nights halt. Great value for money. Decent rooms with all essentials and breathtaking views. We had a few cockroach visits in the middle of the night which was unpleasant. Request the hotel to conduct a through cleanup. You would want to book your stay here only for the sunsets over the lake. (Good photo ops made my better half happy) Watch out for any uninvited guests though."
