Sandra R.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Good location and quiet
The unit was roomy and basic. We felt it was tired and needed updating particularly for the asking price. There was a 10-15mm gap in the bedroom floor which exposed the underfloor. We had to seal it as we had the unpleasant experience of a red-belly black snake entering our motel unit 5 days earlier. The a/c struggled to cool the residence when the temperature was over 30 degrees. Host were very friendly and accomodating.
