Oasis Beach Motel
It is a lovely motel & the lake is right next to it, which is why we stayed there. Amazing to have an evening seat outside our apartment by the lake & also to wake up with the lake view through the window.

I stayed in a pool view room, which was nice and conveniently located right next to the pools. The room was tidy, a decent size, and had a very homely feel—making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Karaka Tree Motel
I like the spa room plenty of space, got what I asked for ie shortage of towels/bathmats. Kitchen handy location in room but needs simple cleaning overall. Average stay for the price. Could do with a small couch inside and table/chairs for outside usage to enjoy the view of lake.
