- The place was clean but old and shabby, in disrepair. A microwave toaster and kettle were provided but no crockery or cutlery. They advertise a restaurant onsite, but it wasn't open. The pool was empty. The bed was comfy but I was bitten by insects all night. The only way for fresh air was a door open to a river bank, no security.

Quiet and easy to find
Rooms were a bit musty but it had been raining heavily for weeks.
The chines restaurant The locality
Very minimalistic - no milk suppliedNo cutlery or crockery provided to eat our meal we purchased from the restaurant there
Very large and spacious.
Could have been cleaner. Unwanted guest (see photo)
disapointing
we arrived at 1.30 pm instead of 2 and told to go away and come back at 2pm the staff member was not very polite and could see i was not happy being sent away for 30mins and was very sarcastic. I would never go back there for this reason
Location
No milk and no explanation why (They had run out we discovered the next day)
Room was comfortable. Beautiful scenery. Opportunity to buy dinner there at reasonable price
For the rate the room was alright considering it was long weekend -
however there were few moths on the ceiling and in the bathroom as wellAlso the positioning of the lamp over the single bed was very uncomfortable my son
LocationGreat mattressPlenty of storage
Aircon heater could not warm up the roomNo freezer in frig to make icereading light on roof a problem for partners
Very comfy bed. Short walk to their chinese restaurant. Quiet location.
Really can't find anything I didnt like.Would definitely stay again when I am travelling down to Sydney
Property was clean but there was bad smell all around.
Very bad smell around the room and in bathroom
Good facilities and was able to access room outside of normal hours.
Trying to find motel - needs to have a sign lighted at night on the main road.
The shower
The rooms were outdated and service was poor. When we arrived we walked into our room and it was dirty and when we told the staff they didn’t seem to care. When I asked for milk they didn’t give us the milk.
the room was clean and bed was comfy
Rooms are a bit dated and could use an update
The bed was extremely comfortable and the onsite restaurant was great.
The tap fitting in the bathroom leaked
