Richard R “The owners could not have been more helpful” Reviewed on Trip Advisor 30 March 2013 via mobile We had the deluxe queen double room, which was as good a room as you can find in any motel anywhere. We wish we could have used it for several days instead of just one. The only problem with the room was that it was so well equipped with other things that it did not have space for a washer and dryer. The owner said no problem and gave us the keys to a room that had not yet been cleaned so we could use the washer and dryer in that room. Then the owner told us that soon it would be the evening feeding time for the koalas and the kangaroos on Raymond Island. He gave us instructions how to drive the ten minutes to the island, how to take the little car ferry, and where to look for the animals. Sure enough, we saw one koala in a tree and two different groups of kangaroos. The room was great and the owners were even better.
