Cute little retro motel within walking or driving distance of the main Kingy cafe street. Looked exactly like the ad! The positives were that it was clean and tidy, nice funky styling, easy free parking, great technology (keyless lock, large tv, aircon), and the bed was super comfy! The kids liked the side room with the single beds. The only negatives were that every time I moved in bed, the motion-sensor tv ‘picture’ came on, brightly lighting up the room. Couldn’t find a power switch, couldn’t seem to turn it off, and it kept me awake all night! (Someone has since told me that I could try holding down the power button for a long time to get rid of the bright picture). Doh.
Also, the kids bedroom really could do with a curtain / blind, and the sink could do with dish liquid and a tea towel (we had to borrow some from the communal kitchen to do our breakfast dishes).
Overall, it was super cute, just as expected, and easy in location.
My kids loved the swing near the driveway and would have liked to borrow the bikes and swum in the pool if we had more time.
Would stay again, Room 17 was good for us, as it was off the street, and traffic noise wasn’t too bad. Thanks for the stay!
