A good choice as a stop after a day's drive up north along the west coast highway and after a walk around Lake Matheson at the dusk. The motel is easy to locate. Kitchen is well-layout and it will be super if there is an electric stove and pots. The bathroom will be more use-friendly if some hooks are installed on the wall for towels and clothings.

Good location. Can do cooking at the room and all the cooking necessary are available. Parking just in front of the room and easily load and unload your bags.

The motel is situated in a quiet corner with private car park and close to the restaurants and tour booking centers. The room is clean and comfortable but small and without stove.
