8/10 Good

"Easy access and parking.. full kitchen was good"

Rainforest Motel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful place to stay. Good help and advise from the owner. Beware!!! everything in the town closes at 9:30pm not even pack of chips is available past that time. Hotel facilities are modest but clean and well kept. Gets a little cold but I am not used to cold so even a little bit cold seems much to me. Overall a modest place with modest pricing, views are a real bonus!!!"
