I just found the unit was very clean and tidy. Everything i needed was in place, I never worked out the proper use of the TV but I watched free to air and went to sleep. I could have made an effort and used all streaming services available. Excellent property and value for money

Wayfarer Motel or Bates Motel? On approach it appears like a motel from a Midwest American slasher film. The trees and grass are overgrown and all the greenery on the motel itself is dead and dying. I have expected to find Norman Bates manning the reception desk. You receive the combination to your room on a Post-it note and I’m unlocking the door you find it won’t lock again. The rooms are small but adequate and to be honest for what you pay they’re okay. It has to be mentioned that the bathroom had a stool straight out of the 1970s, which is the one that looks like a plastic picnic salt and pepper shaker. When you try to shower at 7 o’clock in the morning there is no water coming out of the hot water pipe, you’ll find out later in the day that they have it turned off and you have to ask for it to be on the next morning. The staff are pleasant and helpful, though they can only work with what they’ve got. I won’t be staying there next year.

Photos of this property were obviously taken 10 years ago! So run down. I’ve stayed in many motels all over the country/world and this would have to be the worst place we’ve ever stayed. There were hairs on the pillows. My kids complained of being able to feel what felt like dirt at the end of the bed. The door between main bedroom and kids bedroom didn’t close! Bathroom doors didn’t close and looked so dirty! I don’t think floor had been mopped between stays! No soap supplied! No room key given! Just a written key code on a post it note! Seriously don’t know how this place is still running! Save your money or spend $30 more and stay elsewhere!
