Colonial Lodge Motel

Colonial Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Our room had the basic kitchen motel amenities. The room was clean, the staff friendly and our parking in front of our room. The victorian buildings were well restored. We couldn't get a ticket to see the blue pinguins at night but we saw a few including young ones during the day inside the research centre area."
