Welcoming staff. Very clean and value for money.
Very clean.. Great value for money.
Bar fridge defrosted allowing water to keep onto the bench. Had to check and rectify myself.
Room was very spacious, clean and comfy bed
Tight squeeze to the back units and no under cover parking
Great location, very clean rooms, the room was very well equipped in a comfortable setting. As a family we had a good overnight stop experience.
Air conditioning was not powerful enough for the size of the room. The room needed an extended period of time to cool down in summer. Pool was not too clean, but was usable.
Room changed to ground floor by proprietor because of stars at no extra cost. Thank you
Everything about this motel was excellent. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. I loved the hot chocolate satchets and the bottles of water in the fridge. The bed was super comfortable and the shower had wonderful pressure. Access and parking were easy too.
Nothing, everything was exceptional.
The managers were friendly and helpful, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with bench space to put your personal bathroom items. The internet was stable and the room was away from the road and I didn't notice the traffic at all.
This was a great motel experience. I wish I had found it sooner!
Good location, good sized rooms and beds.
The room layout is interesting. I loved the space. The kitchen was well equipped. It would be a great place to stay for more than a night. Air con worked well and beds were comfortable. Pub over the road for meals closed early but there were lots of other close by dinner options. Would certainly stay again.
I didn't love the shower curtain but a minor issue in the big scheme of things. I couldn't see a pool. The smoking area was difficult to locate.
We didn't have breakfast. The room and bathroom are quite large. Undercover parking.
Only one window. Parking was also a bit tricky with having to go around through a back access.
Location is close to highway for travelling
Rooms are not smoke-free. On arrival, the room smelled heavily of smoke. Contacting the motel is impossible—I tried calling both numbers (4122 2777 and 0499 192 441), but got no response; the voicemail inbox is full, so no message can be left. The Facebook page number links to a "relief manager" from 4 years ago. The rooms are not clean, and the walls are paper-thin, so you'll hear all noises from other guests and traffic. Do yourself a favor: just avoid.
Spacious room with extra room and couch
Parking was tight but it wasn’t busy so didn’t cause any problems.
The two bedroom room was exactly what we were after. Rooms were spacious and regularly serviced. The kitchen had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Laundry facility useful and free. A nice refreshing pool to cool off in was great.
Soft mattress. Only because I prefer firm mattresses.
Great location and clean. Room size was great too.
Not comfy,too old
The parking area so small. The acc take forever to get cold.baby cant sleep bcause hot
Comfortable and clean
Had everything you needed to be able to cook but there was no electric fry pan or electric element
Clean room, friendly staff, aircon was on when we arrived, pool was nice and cool.
Car Park was a little tight
