I especially liked the range of tea they had available. I haven't been to a motel that offers different types of tea. We were also given a home baked muffin on arrival. This, too, was a unique experience. Such a lovely reception.

    With a family of six, it isn't easy to find suitable accommodations. The Midway Motel was affordable, clean, and comfortable. Everyone had a bed and no one had to sleep on the couch!

    Alpine Motel was centrally located with a short walk in to the main town with the local attractions. It was also close to Countdown the supermarket and a number of eateries within easy walking distance. It has a nice selection of eating utensils and a kettle with tea/coffee. The room was lovely and warm and on a cooler wet winter night, this was a welcome escape.
