"This is an excellent choice of motel for pet owners. The staff were very welcoming of pets and did not charge extra and unnecessary 'cleaning' fees. Most fanatical pet owners are super responsible and mindful of premises integrity. Moana Court is spotlessly clean, quiet, warm and close to main street shops. They have a fantastic selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and kindly provide handy extras like tissues, paper towels and warm blankets. I will definitely stay here again. Perfection. Thank...
