Extremely high standard of accommodation. Cleanliness unmatched, roomy bathroom with easy access shower and handy shelve to hold your toiletries…unlike others where nothing is available. Main room is huge with efficient heating and tidy kitchen as big as some 3 bdrm homes. Comfy as bed and plenty of storage space for your luggage and footwear. Great deck with easy ramp access for all ages out to your vehicle Not my first stay to at chalet’s of the AWA Motel and definitely won’t be my last 10/10
