Motel is closed to town and quiet. Everything is good except for the plastic chairs in the room are not that comfortable. It'll be nice to have a sofa or upholstery chairs.

Check in was good. No indivual parking for your room.so its first in ,first served.Their is not enough parks for the amount of rooms so its possibly why they dont allocate you a carpark.The place could do with a good waterblast n paint, but the rooms are clean.unfortunately we had to put up with a very large family next door room and they were really noisey even after asking them at 10.30 p.m to settle down.was kids more than Adults.i was told the rooms up stairs were for max 3 people.1 Queen bed n 1 single.not good

While the AWA is in an ideal situation and great for a few nights, my stay was for an extended period of time, and an outdoor garden area would be nice to have somewhere to sit snd relax after a day out.

Extremely high standard of accommodation. Cleanliness unmatched, roomy bathroom with easy access shower and handy shelve to hold your toiletries…unlike others where nothing is available. Main room is huge with efficient heating and tidy kitchen as big as some 3 bdrm homes. Comfy as bed and plenty of storage space for your luggage and footwear. Great deck with easy ramp access for all ages out to your vehicle Not my first stay to at chalet’s of the AWA Motel and definitely won’t be my last 10/10
