While the AWA is in an ideal situation and great for a few nights, my stay was for an extended period of time, and an outdoor garden area would be nice to have somewhere to sit snd relax after a day out.

Extremely high standard of accommodation. Cleanliness unmatched, roomy bathroom with easy access shower and handy shelve to hold your toiletries…unlike others where nothing is available. Main room is huge with efficient heating and tidy kitchen as big as some 3 bdrm homes. Comfy as bed and plenty of storage space for your luggage and footwear. Great deck with easy ramp access for all ages out to your vehicle Not my first stay to at chalet’s of the AWA Motel and definitely won’t be my last 10/10
