Had one great week there, the managers couldn't be more accommodating with local info and tips on where to visit. Very clean, ultra clean infact, I think the girls there are "clean freaks". Lovely pool and BBQ area, great location in town, close to everything, would go back in a heart beat.

I think it's Terrie and Bruce's friendliness and attention to detail that gives such a good impression and leaves the visitor with such positive memories.

Close to EVERYTHING in town A++. Owners went out of their way to help (even drove us to the Airport)!! Pool was located OUT OF THE WIND so was very enjoyable place to relax & unwind. Not a 5 star but with 3 1/2 stars it had everything you needed. Would stay again.

We stayed last week & was very surprised on how enjoyable the stay was. We are not really into staying at a Motel, we like are luxuries but the Pelican provided us with something we have never experienced before whilst on holidays. Looking forward to seeing you both on our next holiday.

The proprietors, Bruce and Terrie, provided an excellent quality of service and went out of their way to make sure my stay was as enjoyable as possible. Bruce even drove me to the local golf club to photograph kangaroos when the golf club courtesy bus failed to arrive. Bob Campbell
