This motel is conviniently located near the ferry terminal, and wirh a car, so many great restaurants are easily accessible. Our suite with kitchenette was very large, clean and comfortable. Above all, the 5 star rating is for the staff at this motel. They are so nice, welcoming and treat you more like familly than hotel guests.

Lorna, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here after travelling from the interior and catching the late ferry. It was a great stopover with our two young kids. The room was clean, updated, and the whole grounds felt safe to be in. We showed up after check in hours but the reception left our key for us so we didn’t have to worry about timing. I would recommend staying here !

I liked how quiet and clean it was. It is an older building so water temperatures in the shower was crazy. I liked the little kitchen. Everything you needed
