Nice to get in a few minutes earlier than usual. The motel was freshly painted inside and had an air conditioner/heat pump plus new looking carpet. The tap over the basin indicated H and C but the water temperature was opposite to the direction indicated (and usual). We thought there was no hot water only to find out later the shower was marvellous - hot as you wanted and excellent flow. The restaurant is average.

The hot tub was not working (#1 reason for choosing it). The playground was very basic (a slide & a baby swing). We booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child & there was only 2 towels. Check in was pretty vague (no directions to room). No breakfast available as they only do it if 9 or 10 people want it. Which was definitely not as advertised and inconvenient. (Wouldn't you offer at least something to get the revenue?). The restaurant was surprisingly higher quality than the rest of the experience. The heater in our room did not work & the curtains did not block out the lights that were on all night. Slightly disappointing but nowhere near as bad as the back packers at National Park.

Stunning location but rooms not as clean as hoped
Very nice surroundings and loved the look of the restaurant although sadly we missed dinner due to delayed InterIslander ferry. Breakfast was not available unless you pre-book the chef, I guess that’s a winter thing. Room was okay but a bit dirty around the edges, back of sofa cushions etc. Friendly staff. Location is really wonderful.

The Motel rooms were very full. This made parking difficult because there are no lines in the lot. Other than that… the room was super! It was a studio with a queen and a single bed. Kitchen had kettle and toaster with fridge and microwave. TV had basic channels but we were ok with that.

Booked a pet friendly studio through Wotif (There we other studios available but they clearly stated not pet friendly), so you can imagine our surprise to being told that there was an extra $20 charge for our dog! Food from restaurant was very nice and the bed was super comfortable. However the unit was very dated, not very clean, the curtains were falling off the rails, amongst other things.
