    Pros +

    • Clean and tidy, having a kitchenette was handy.
    • Large room, well appointed - kitchen, large bathroom separate bedroom for toddler. Great location for town. Good fridge, sockets for charging things
    • The shower was amazing - hot and fabulous water pressure. Good coffee provided and real milk (not UHT pottles)

    Cons -

    • Staff unlocked the door to come in well before checkout time when I was standing getting dressed one brief knock unlocked the door and started to enter the room till we shouted out.Room was noisy, on a main road and right beside mcdonalds and a service station.Shower is over the bath
    • The kitchen could do with an extraction fan and the room was very cold even with heaters on (single glazed) and allocated an upstairs room with a small child was less than ideal as lots of luggage and pram etc to take up a flight of stairs. Room smelt a little funny like old chinese takeaway but could not open window as was too cold.
    • A little cramped for us .

    A rather small unit, for one night it was suitable. Not much in kitchen facilities . Restaurants across the street.

    A little cramped for us .

    Really pleasant welcoming lady in reception. Clean and comfortable in a handy location to town

    8MichaelPosted on: 3-16-2025

    Lovely people, very helpful

    Motel is very clean just a wee bit tired. That didn't negatively impact our stay.

    9HeatherPosted on: 3-4-2025

    Very spacious and comfortable. Loved having the coffee machine

    Toilet paper was to thin and my elderly parent found having no rails in the bath/shower not good

    7SarahPosted on: 2-11-2025

    The staff were very pleasant and the room was clean.

    The room was pretty small under the stairs and therefore quite dark.

    4RobinPosted on: 2-4-2025

    We had not stayed at this motel before and thought it was overpriced for its standard.

    The bathroom was poorly designed and cramped. In particular we were concerned at the lack of handholds in the shower which is located over a high sided bath. It is quite dangerous to use.

    10MaggiePosted on: 2-4-2025

    I had a health issue and was given great advise. Then my travel plans got messed up, the staff really helped. Thank you

    Nice lady at reception. Free parking

    No shower shampooNo soap in sink dispenserSky TV not working which is in the pricePrice extortionate

    6SandraPosted on: 1-20-2025

    Central to townBathroom was nice.

    1st Small room with limited kitchen facilities- no sink2nd room was upstairs which meant baby's pram had to be carried up and down stairs.

    8ThomasPosted on: 1-1-2025

    Room was clean and tidy and location great. Coffee maker was appreciated.

    Room had a very overpowering perfumed air fresher smell when we arrived, opening windows for a couple hours fixed it. There wasn’t much space in the room. No table to eat breakfast at and we were pretty cramped with three of us. But these are minor complaint.

    8DavidPosted on: 11-10-2024

    Excellent location, right in town. Nice staff.

    Tiny little unit and a bit expensive I thought.

    8KevinPosted on: 11-4-2024

    Was very clean and close to the shopping centre

    Felt it was over priced for the accommodation we had, very small rooms.

    7SaskiaPosted on: 10-25-2024

    Close to town, walked everywhere

    Place appears quite neglected in terms of upkeep especially the grounds. Weeds everywhere, lawns not mowed

    6RobynPosted on: 10-7-2024

    I was surprised at how close to the CBD it was.

    The grounds and landscape could do with a lot of work, as you could utilize it a lot better. At the moment it hasn't had any attention in a long time.And in the bathroom on the shower door there is pink mould

    Easy to find and clean
