10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay at Island Palms Motor Inn! Our room was spacious, modern and exceptionally clean. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept like babies! The bathroom was large and spotless, with a massive shower that was an absolute bonus. We requested a quiet room and were given Room 21, tucked away in a lovely, peaceful corner with no one walking past. It was perfect for a relaxing getaway! Gayle was absolutely wonderful! So welcoming, friendly and genuinely sweet. She made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is convenient, with Woolworths and the Lakeside Tavern just a short walk away. It's a little further from the main town centre than I'd initially realised, but that's entirely down to my own research! 😂 Overall, a lovely, comfortable stay with wonderful hospitality. We'd happily stay again!

Great location - super handy to shopping centre and main road in and out of town - was far back off the street enough to be quiet. Easy drive to find a yummy dinner.
