“Great at Gables”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Great hosts. Very close to town and with lovely views over the lake. Really enjoyed the private spa bath. Very good positioning of the bedroom which ensured a good nights sleep without the annoyance of outside lights shining in. Would certainly stay again.

Dear Marilyn, Thanks for your feedback, it is much appreciated. Yes the location is great here - on the lake front but still an easy walk to town. We look forward to seeing you again one day. kind regards Gray and Jo More

Can't wait to see the finished units of this lovely motel. It was spotlessly clean and although the renos are not complete very comfortable. The best bed I've ever slept on at a motel and plenty of space and the views of the Lake. Priceless

Dear Mardi 757, Thanks for your lovely feedback. Yes the sleepyhead beds that were installed in January are fabulous - they are top of the range and well worth it. This week the new street sign went up and the first of the kitchen and bathroom upgrades has commenced. In addition each apartment is being redecorated and the spa areas... More

My family and I stayed at Gables in March for 3nites and found the managers to be very accommodating and helpful to the point where they relocated us to rooms with better views of the lake at our request with little fuss and bother. Would recommend Gables based on the wonderful hospitality of Jo and Gray.
