Staff were all very friendly and made our family feel welcome, the kids love the little puzzle toy they give them at check in. Beds were comfy, the room was clean just what we needed for a one stop on our road trip.
A good hotel on the main road in the middle of nowhere, very quiet and peaceful with a nice restaurant attached. Great service from all the staff but the room we were in could do with a little uplift, nothing major just a stiff door and cover missing from the aircon.
This property is clean, quiet and easy to find. It is a good stop over for travellers. It was nice to be able to go downstairs to the food area for dinner after a long day out

Good hotel to stay overnight halfway our trip clean quiet no frills.
Clean room, bed is comfortable, and location is convenient. Staff are very friendly. Having a restaurant on-site helps when you’ve been travelling all-day.

An overnight stay on the road - could have been a bit cleaner for the price but the beds were clean and comfortable and we were away early!
