    Fabulously modern and spacious room. Dog friendly with its own secure little courtyard. Clean pool and nice sociable BBQ area. The cafe at the motel had good coffee. Staff were very friendly and there is a small fridge in the reception area where drinks can be purchased. Parking in front of room.
