Guest Feedback

“Quiet from traffic, central to everywhere we were going and really comfortable units. Love the power shower. Units are spacious and have everything you need for a great weekend away. Lots of ideas to make your visit a more interesting one as well.”

Our Spacious Rooms

Our one and two bedroom apartments are noted for their large floor area, which is well above average for the area. These apartments have Gas hot water and good water pressure to allow good long hot showers which are so necessary if one has spent three our four unwashed days on one of the many tracks and trails in the area!

Hubby and I had a very comfortable 5-day stay at this Motel, and would definitely recommend it to fellow travellers. We had a 1-bedroom unit that could sleep five. It would have to be one of the most spacious Motels we have stayed in (and there have been many over the years!). Good storage, very clean and had everything we needed. Hosts Mark and Mel were really great, very friendly and helpful. And Oh! that shower! Wish we had one at home! Don’t expect a view of the lake as this Motel is in a quiet area, but within walking distance to the town centre and lake. Would very happily stay there again should the need arise.

Mark and Mel were very pleasant and helpful in every way. The room, although a studio unit, was clean and comfortable. Towels were soft and clean. We had healthy exercise – just a short walk down to the lakefront! I would recommend staying here anytime.

We had the best stay here @ Arran Motel!!! Nice spot, close to the lake and town. Rooms were immaculate, the highlight for me are the showers! 110% hospitality from the managers so we will definitely stay here again 😁 Thank you so much

Awesome place to stay Mel and Mark were the best hosts. Close to the Lake for a nice cold but refreshing swim. Shops just around the corner. Stress free and relaxing I will most definitely be visiting in the future!
