Tall Trees Ainslie Motel
I had a very nice stay at Tall Trees Ainslie. I felt welcome and my personal request was happily accommodated. My room was very clean and quiet. I was travelling and needed a good nights rest. I had a very comfortable stay in every way. I left early so didn’t test breakfast.
