Cons -
- The room, the smell from the dumpster, no bathroom light, TV kept turning off, no contact to reception, they cancelled our 6 nights and we had to rebook at a more expensive rate
- would be good to have an extra lock on the door, I had to slam the door shut to get it closing and locking, safety for guests. Where I was situated (room 43), wasn't good for women travelling alone, women should be put into rooms in the open area, so they feel safe.
- Small old no charismatic in the room. Plain

The helpful staff The kind cleaner
The last night I could not sleep due to a whole night talking to self mentally ill neighbour. That was havoc.
Secure. Pool. InTown.
Run down. Price doesn’t suit the facility.
The staff were great really friendly and attentive.
Super basic rooms but that’s all they advertise, so no great surprise.
Never received my deposit money because apparently I stole their towels which wasn’t the case so they robbed me of my $2
The staff was rude
Secure parking restaurant and bar onsite
Pot hole in road after you enter the secure gate
Secure parking, TV, airconditioned, had all you need
Staff member wasn't very inviting, restaurant was closed, aircon wasn't on when we arrived so it was like a hotbox, basic room, bed wasn't very comfortable.
I requested a cancellation because when I booked the room it went from September to October! And you didn't cancel i
value for money. It's what I expected. Manager was great. Great Shower. Secure parking.
Noisy neighboring room.
The only thing that can be "liked" is that the bed was comfortable and the room and contents were clean.
Just about everything could have been better. There were no chairs, so the only place to sit was on the bed. There was one plastic chair outside our door, but it was so dirty, you couldn't sit on it. Their were wall lamps on each side of the bed but all fittings and screws were visible as there were no shades. The TV produced only static. We asked the management for help and they just said that sometimes reception is not good. All the furnishings looked as though they had come from the Op Shop, nothing matched, mugs, teaspoons, towels and the sheets on the bed were all different from each other. Adequate, but not what you expect from a holiday accommodation. For the first night of our holiday it was a big letdown.
Pool and location
Rooms could use an update.
Very basic accommodation, it was clean and suited us for the 1 night we stayed.
Very poor
Parking, although secure was not suitable for camper trailers, and not adjacent to the accommodation It would have been good if the rooms had been described as demountables - would have lowered expectationsNo meals available, nobody on-site for information at the time we said we would arrive in business hours
Location and convenience. Aircon worked well.
Minimal facilities, very poor sound insulation between units. Access on arrival - all locked up. Had to walk around premises and finally found people in pool area to let me in.
Not recommended
Sadly the room we were put in was absolutely disgusting. The beds were uncomfortable and no rugs provided. The towels were the size of a small hand towel. The walls are so thin that we could hear every noise from adjoined rooms. The cats living under the building were smelly and noisy.
Cheap. The pub was OK for a meal
Alcohol prices way too high.
The bed was comfy, the room and bathroom were clean. It's cheap compared to the alternatives. Fine for a one night stay.
You can hear everything going on in the next room.
Location and staff
Closed on Sunday and Monday, worse part I could hear the couple in the next room doing their thing....
