I chose to stay at Linaker Nurse’s Quarters because I was intrigued by how they have set this up as a motel.
Motel guests definitely step back in time as they enter through to the foyer.
The room was spacious with separate bathroom and living area which is modestly furnished, but this would have been reminiscent to the era. Microwave, toaster, kettle and TV are all clean and worked well. Tes/coffee/milk etc provided.
Bathroom had a great shower and decor was befitting the era as well. Basic supplies were provided which was great as hubby forgot his toothbrush.
The bedroom boasted a very comfortable bed which was great after a long days driving. Other than the bed, there were no modern additions to this room and the large wardrobe was sizeable enough to fit your clothes, suitcases and picnic basket if you have one.
The communal lounge is photo worthy and all that was missing was that the reception staff were not dressed to reflect the former use of this site. That would have been great.
For meals, it was a short stroll or even shorter drive back into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Overall this was affordable accommodation for anyone on a budget, it was quirky, we felt safe and had a great nights sleep.
