Panorama Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"All nice and clean"

Anchor Motel

6/10 Okay

"Whole house. Very old house which was actually quite an experience..pull chord for lights and shower over claw foot bath, took me back to my 20's.. 1 full length mirror somewhere, would be great!! But iron and board were very helpful! Needs some work on both bathrooms! Extractor fan in kitchen VERY noisy... Lovely big loung/dining area which was great for our family group ...12 all up... 7 staying in The House.. The house suited us as mostly only sleeping and showers... Couplands across the road!! Yes, I would stay again, as Im not looking for luxury accommodation and the price is reflective of this. Ps, the cat was a bit annoying."
