My wife and I enjoy these efficiency hotels. When we are out enjoying the beautiful trecks in the area, we don't need a luxury hotel. For the price we got clean safe and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.

A nice two bedroom unit. Clean and tidy.
The windows on the outside were quite dirty and needed to be cleaned.

what was really unbearable is the bing bang and slamming doors continually day and nights as room is in a indoor passage and doors were very noisy.
otherwise simple and nice,but if you can't sleep there is a problem .

Easy access to shop etc. Cleanliness of the room was ok but windows need attention inside and out. I understand that there is gravel outside but inside needs cleaned. The kitchen tap leaks and did last time we stayed in that room a year or so ago.
