"This motel was in a fabulous location, right opposite the lake and easy walking to shops, cafes and restaurants. The motel had easy parking. The staff were all friendly and inviting. The rooms were very clean and modern. Having a kitchenette was great and we loved sitting on the deck area, overlooking the lake for drinks and nibbles. Loved our stay and can’t wait to return. "

"We loved the facility and all it had to offer, we will be back for more holidays. It felt like a resort, we loved the pool and beautiful planting being right next to the beach. Great having restaurants and shop with in walking distance the perfect location. "

"Room was nice and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. There is a small dairy and take away shop within a few minutes walk. I used my private spa pool and the main pools during my time. FYI, not a big deal to me, but in the private room you can only access the water for the spa tub between 7:30-9:30am, then again at 2:30-11:00 pm. But the main pools are open so...I did like that it was adult only! It was very relaxing and I would stay again."
