Not exactly as perceived from photos
We had a decent stay here. I thought the photos from the room of being near the lake meant we were actually closer to the lake (i.e. truly at the edge). Instead the space between the patio and the lake pictured is actually a driveway for the other vehicles and RV's- so its not as peaceful as expected from the photo. In addition, we were in room 6 of the motel, which happens to be next to the laundry room, so we did have noise from people using the laundry room. Otherwise a good stay, just a few unexpected things.

Very expensive for this property. Property is on the top. Besides caravan campground. Shower room is too tight and the waters dripping all over the floor. Even theres a shower curtain. The switch from electric blanket is hurting our back because sheet is thin. The only thing that i like is the nice view from the lake which the reason i pick online that im expecting to be in front of lake and mountains.

Will definitely be back to stay here!
This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. Our motel unit was up on a hill behind the reception area and so we had a great unblocked view of the lake, and we were able to spot bunnies from the windows at the back. There were seats on the patio and comfortable sofas in the living room that you could sit on and enjoy the view. Bedrooms were warm and the beds were very comfortable. Bathroom had a blowing heater and plenty of hot water so it was really good during the winter. Location was very convenient; you could walk to the village center by the lake. Coin-operated laundry facilities were at the end of the motel block which was convenient. However, we suggest watching over your laundry as the washing/drying is ongoing as we think someone hijacked our dryer. The dryer was already opened and our clothes weren't fully dry when we came back to collect it (we set a timer ourselves and we came before the timer rang).
