We stayed here for a week. It is a great central location but best of all the owners are such lovely helpful people. We loved staying here. Nothing was too much trouble and our room was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Thank you for a nice stay. We would definitely stay here again.

We were very happy with the accommodation. Very clean & comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The room was very quite, no road noise. And heavy curtains keep the room dark for sleeping in. Rates are good. Owners were very pleasant to deal with & friendly. Easy place to find, and easy to get back on highway. Breakfast was... More

Most other reviewers have said it all. The motel is very well maintained and very well managed. Some of the facilities are actually better than home! I'd like to take the shower with me. There is some noise but it is balanced by all of the other pluses that are provided in the package. The managers (owners?) should go into... More

I selected a family room for a one night stay and was originally attracted by the very reasonable tariff advertised plus the ease of accessing and arriving at the Motel via the Walker Street exit from the Bruce Highway. We were delighted with the friendliness of the owners and the standard of the accommodation. As it turned out we became... More

We stayed here twice, each time just for a night (we liked it on the way north, so we stopped in again on the way south again). The owners are lovely and were able to accommodate families of 4 without a problem. They were not at all put out by our midnight check in, and were just really friendly and... More

We found this on trip advisor and decided we had nothing to lose. Cara is probably a place you might overlook but despite it looking quite ordinary we found it clean, quiet and with quite a few extra touches. The owner was very knowledgeable about local places to eat and visit. Only comment - the internet was very patchy

Small, friendly motel, conveniently located near the centre of town (a short walk). Opposite main hospital and next door to the cafe. Pool is unheated so pretty cold except in summer. Rooms surround car park area. Travelling with children and the family sized room was a very good price. Not many facilities in the motel itself for children but we... More

I travel for business and have seen a few motels. The Cara is a standout in terms of cleanliness, water pressure and temperature (a good shower is a blessing!), location, and really genuine and helpful hosts. Well done. Ewen T
