The guys running this motel are such great people they can do nothing but succeed. On learning that we were there celebrating our 61st wedding anniversary, they 3D printed a beautiful rose and stand and presented it to us on checkout . They won us with that.

This was a great property — very clean, all the bells and whistles for a kitchen, sitting space, large veranda, secluded location in back of property. We were lucky to fine this gem #12

Out suite was on top floor at the back and had superb views across the fields to the sunset and mountains. It was spacious and clean and well furnished. Everything seemed brand new. Nicer than most folks home apartments!

Absolutely pristine and comfortable, well fitted out and lovely touches like dolphin shower curtain hooks, press-coffee pot, small patio with view of mountains. Occasional lamps in living room and bedrooms would have been nice as overhead light not romantic at all!

Clean and modern accommodation at an affordable price. Kitchenette was well stocked with items we needed and proximity to main township was a bonus. Staff were friendly and responsive.

Clean, no frills, directly off Main Street, oddly quiet ;except for cleaning crew yelling at each other using voice and walk-in talkies).

Clean motel within walking distance to various dining options. Room is very clean with a small fridge, kitchenette and basic utensils. Parking is a bit challenging. We did not use any of their services but the staff is polite and checking in is fast.
