Repeat customer, clean and quaint motel

This is a quaint little motel, clean, quiet. We have stayed there 3 years in a row. We only sleep there and are out all day and it’s perfect for that. Close to the harbour front.

Maybe just an improvement with the wifi but it might be coz its an island too. Even using our data is slower. Staff is really helpful. Bonus it has a microwave that even the bigger hotels dont have.
