Naomi Lang
Best motel EVER! The owners are so lovely, the rooms and porches are styled delightfully and the highlight was having Charlie the cat to cuddle with. In a beautiful, quiet street 5 min walk from all the shops. We’ll be back!

Absolutely loved this eclectic motel. The furnishings in the room we had were just amazing making you feel like you were at Grandma's and not just a bed in a room. The welcoming team were so warm and welcoming.

What a wonderful experience! Cute, well located little cottages. We were greeted by the owner with enthusiasm and friendliness. She made sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and gave us a map of the surrounds with some recommendations for food and tourist attractions. Without her knowledge we would not have known to visit Coronet Peak on our visit! We will definitely stay here again...
