    Welcoming, comforting, relaxing.
    • Business trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    It would have been lovely to have a mirror in the main room so that if your partner is using the bathroom or having a shower, you can still get ready!

    We loved the view, area, design, on site amenities (e.g. bbq and hot tub), and extremely friendly and helpful staff. We will be coming back and recommending you to anyone who is travelling through!

    Beautiful location, well run and I would stay again

    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The linens were very clean but heavily scented which was a little overpowering for my taste.

    Thé style and decor of the rooms was cute and comfy. The proprietors were welcoming, very efficient, Cheryl sent texts with all pertinent information information and had the key in a lockbox so that everything was at our disposal immediately. We ordered the breakfast box and it was beautifully presented, delicious and ample food for a low cost.

    The t.v and satelite/cable was confusing, but we stayed only 1 night so it was no big deal.

    what I liked was the personal service, from giving us enough dishes and condiments, for a 1 night BBQ, to the delivery of ice.

    The only thing that would have been better is if we were able to stay longer, next time I’ll book more than one night!!

    This beautiful little motel was wonderful! Neil and Cheryl were great, rooms are done up so cute and cozy, loved the modern look ! From the moment we arrived to the minute we left everything was perfect

    There are not many eating options in the area for other meals so guests should come prepared with their own food.

    Extremely clean, comfortable, modern! Amazing views and terrific property. An absolute delight to have room service breakfasts! Lovely, helpful, accomodating owners.

    everything was great. can't see anything to complain about.

    Everything was lovely. I just wanted to mention this to you. Are the glass bottles in the bathroom sink dangerous? What if they slipped and broke? ALSO, I found the tub a bit slippery when I got in. Maybe a bath mat would help. are you open for someone in a wheelchair. I saw where you had a ramp but was wondering about the inside, bathroom, etc. thanks again for a very relaxing and peaceful staycation.

    Beds ok but not super comfortable. Curtains do not keep out light (electric at front at night and sunlight on both sides at dawn). Can also hear passing cars.

    Fabulous location - what a view. Nice touches, like chocolates, wine glasses, cute decorations. Easy to use app to gain entry (download before arrival as no signal once you are there!). Good WiFi. Good coffee. Cannot comment on staff as there were none needed!

    Not completely functional. Rooms need a table and two chairs. Not just one chair. No A/C. Internet stopped working and with no cell service and no on site staff. Stuck.

    Very cute modern motel. Clean and comfortable beds. Beautiful view, balcony and lawn area with ax throwing. Coffee in room was good. Small fridge. Bathrobe if you want. Totally chic.

    Everything was lovely. Minor suggestion … A few hangers to hang up an outfit would be helpful; and a stronger wattage hairdryer

    Park right outside your unit. Contactless entry. Bed is so comfortable! Very clean and well decorated. Waterside view. Care and attention paid to amenities.
