Well, how can i say this,
1st no house keeping, we stay 2 nights at this motel, didnt have house keeping or towels change.
air cond was set to the energy mode, we turned the air cond just after we got home and till time to go to the bed the room was warm still, (and we been tehre in september maybe 24 degrees).
Forgot to menting Wifi so bad, maybe 1 bar in our room, and that wasnt enough to use. 4g doesnt work around (vodafone atleast)
Best thing in this place was the shower, very strong. very relaxing.

I stayed two nights in this very clean, quiet, spacious, runned with lots of love and good looked after Motel.
Adam the owner is a wonderful, helpful and caring soul, always up for a chat, and great to be around with but of course respects your privacy.
If you need a quiet, calm, clean place to stay, want to relax, have a swim in the pool, be surrounded by good people, this is the place to go!
Whenever I'm around again, I'll stay here, that's a given!
Thanks for everything :)
