We Stayed here one night after attending the Havelock mussell festival.The Motel was in the heart of the town but with the bush setting seemed very secluded. Units were modest but well serviced and the hosts very friendly. More

We stayed two nights here. The owners were very welcoming a wealth of information on the area. The unit we stayed in was very well equipped and the beds were comfy. we especially liked the setting - full of birds and trees.

The price offered was excellent given the high quality of accommodation. The room... More
