The property was like stepping back to the 1970’s. The carpet was worn. The “kitchen” area had insufficient sockets for the number of appliances. The reading lights in the bedroom didn’t work and one was held together with cellotape. I am amazed that this motel has a safety certificate.There was apparently a hot pool but it was in a shed which was locked up. It was in a good location for the gondola and activities.

Motel is very handily located, right next to skyline gondola and just down the road from Zorb and next to Mini Golf with Bunnies. Motel is a little dated and could use some upgrading, but hosts very friendly, good size grounds and trampoline and plenty of space for parking.

Hosts friendly. Big down fall was the double bed, we were wondering why the bed was so unconfortable and noisy, it was kept together by 2 by4 wood. The couch was terrible shape hidden with sofa covers. Slightly run down. Rubbish bin for kitchen way to small for a family of four. I can say it is very warm. Convenient to luge and mingolf short drive to supermarkets and other attractions.

Dirty little place where things are filling apart. The couple who run the place is helpful, but owners clearly did not spend any money on renovation for a very long time. The bar next door doesn’t help with noice every night to. Not recommend it’s all.
