The website describes it as blending small-town warmth with comfortable rooms, and invites guests to pull in, park up and stay a while. It has 15 units, including King studios, twin studios, one-bedroom units, one-bedroom units that connect with adjoining studios, and premium accessible units. There are also three powered motorhome sites with a dump station. Guests can use a guest kitchen, a BBQ area, complimentary laundry, shared bathrooms and WiFi. The hosts are Steve and Jackie Clark.
The studios are fully accessible and the motel offers disability-friendly accommodation for travellers with support needs. The one-bedroom units suit families and small groups, and twin-share options suit people travelling together.
