In the budget hotel grouping it was fine.
Large rooms, quiet, ample parking, and strong internet

Unit set back a good distance from main highway. The panel heater in the unit was not satisfactory, only an oil fired heater which took some time to warm up the unit. No shelving in shower for placing soap or shampoo etc. The guest towels left for use were on the sink area and should be away from where they would get wet when using the hand basin. The stove was the only place where a jug & toaster could be plugged in on one side only. The headboard to the single bed is not fixed so a cushion had to be placed between that and the wall to prevent it banging on the wall.
Despite all the aforementioned issues the unit was nice & clean & refreshing to come back into as my stay was for two nites.

The property was like stepping back to the 1970’s. The carpet was worn. The “kitchen” area had insufficient sockets for the number of appliances. The reading lights in the bedroom didn’t work and one was held together with cellotape. I am amazed that this motel has a safety certificate.There was apparently a hot pool but it was in a shed which was locked up. It was in a good location for the gondola and activities.

Motel is very handily located, right next to skyline gondola and just down the road from Zorb and next to Mini Golf with Bunnies.
Motel is a little dated and could use some upgrading, but hosts very friendly, good size grounds and trampoline and plenty of space for parking.

Hosts friendly. Big down fall was the double bed, we were wondering why the bed was so unconfortable and noisy, it was kept together by 2 by4 wood. The couch was terrible shape hidden with sofa covers. Slightly run down. Rubbish bin for kitchen way to small for a family of four. I can say it is very warm. Convenient to luge and mingolf short drive to supermarkets and other attractions.

Dirty little place where things are filling apart.
The couple who run the place is helpful, but owners clearly did not spend any money on renovation for a very long time. The bar next door doesn’t help with noice every night to.
Not recommend it’s all.
