I've stayed at this motel a few times, and each visit reveals new details that enhance the experience. Each room has its clothesline at the back, which is more convenient than a dryer. The bathroom has practical hooks conveniently placed to hang clothes, which is much better than using the towel rail or hand basin. The location is excellent, close to amenities but away from the town's busyness. Across the road is a shop and a garage a bit further. It's near the hospital without heavy traffic. The kitchen is well-equipped for a comfortable stay. The garden's Japanese-inspired ambience, natural elements, and meticulous upkeep bring a sense of peace. Sitting outside, whether enjoying the garden or the morning sun, is delightful; the lilies are picturesque. The thoughtful amenities, serene environment, and outstanding hospitality make it a top choice for any traveller. I highly recommend this motel for anyone seeking a peaceful, comfortable, and memorable stay. This place consistently exceeds expectations, offering exceptional value for money. The new owner provides outstanding hospitality.

I could not fault this place.

We found the room was very spacious and extremely well equipped. We really appreciated the special touches including the fresh milk on arrival, the many tea/coffee options in room, the Sky movies and the comfortable bed and nice towels. The staff were friendly and efficient.

The roof made a loud cracking noise a number of times just as we were falling asleep (maybe something in the roofing was contracting when it got colder outside?). We realise there is not much the owners can do about that.

The person who assisted was good and that he went above and beyond. The location of the place where we stayed as a couple was close enough to town for us to walk there and back. Bit of exercise won't hurt anyone. Stayers at the place next to us were friendly.

It's a pity that the shower pressure wasn't strong enough for us as it would've been good. Other than that not more bad points.

First of all the delightful woman who checked us in was very friendly, she was a pleasure to deal with.Perfect location as close to the airport for an early morning flight. Room was big & comfortable with everything you could need if staying in & cooking a meal. Comfortable furniture & a decent size TV at the perfect height, no strained neck trying to watch as so many other accommodation locations have. There is absolutely nothing negative to say about this place, we would stay again if passing through Palm Nth.

It is clean and tidy inside and out, and the seating outside is excellent. This place has everything you need: comfortable beds, good privacy on the door, and window netting, which also provides great privacy.

Only 3 towels for two people to shower at night and in the morning. We needed 4. Not much of an issue was just a matter of asking for more.

When checking in the motel manager was friendly. The room was nice, clean and tidy. Had everything we needed. Handy dairy across the road

There was a low key musty smell when first entering the room. I had brought a scented candle from home which helped. There needed to be bodywash dispenser or soap to use in the bath. There was only bodywash, shampoo dispenser in the shower

The Christmas gift on the table was a lovely surprise and a beautiful gesture. The Host was very accommodating, allowing us the use of the Motel Kitchen, which was greatly appreciated. Additionally, the convenience of having two adjacent rooms made our stay more enjoyable.

Well appointed and very clean room with good kitchen supplies (a whisk and salt/pepper grinders were a plus); a large spa tub which we didn’t get time to use, comfortable bed; a standup fan kept us cool; very friendly and helpful staff(new owner); good location too.

Nothing comes to mind

The accommodation, comfort and cleanliness could not be faulted.and we felt most welcome once we were able to access the unit. Very comfortable indeed for an elderly couple (both 86-year-olds!!

We were left standing far too long out in a very cold wind on arrival. We tried several times to raise someone to come down to attend to us having rung the bell and used the phone contact number as indicated on the office door. This was disappointing since we had sent an earlier message with our eta. For a crippled man to have to stand so long waiting was quite uncomfortable.
