Marathon weekend accomodation
We stayed for two nights in a one bedroom unit. There was a double bed in the bedroom, two singles in the lounge area. The unit was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. There was a heat pump in the lounge which kept the room warm, also in the kitchen area there was a powerpoint with USB charging facility which was handy. And a big TV! Not too far a walk into town - under 2km - and restaurants easily within walking distance. Check in/check out easy, the Host was lovely, very approachable, and had some good chats! Parking could potentially be a bit tight,and I see some reviews have commented on this, but we have a big car and had no issues at all. I'd stay here again.

Exceptional 10.0
Check in was a breeze . we were given a map and lots of information about the area of which we did all things that were suggested and had a wonderful time. Even a small local restaurant that served great food at local prices..The motel is right on the lake unfortunately for us it rained most of the time but Im sure the views would have been amazing. It was a very comfortable stay.

Not Nice Motel
Paid $300.00 per night. Woke up to cockroaches in the bedroom. Next day there were ants and horrible trout flies. Owners said because we left our window open with lights on but it was 29 degrees. Left a day early due to too many bugs. Wondering about bed mites as well?????
