Claremonte Motor Lodge
The Host was very accommodating and responded to our phone call, as we arrived early and we were allowed into the unit an hour before book in time. The unit had been nicely cleaned and there was an feeling of good organisation and order. Parking was great, with space to park right outside the ground ...
