Budget accommodation at reasonable price

Rooms out the back are decent 3-star standard, with signs of wear and tear but clean and functional. Front of building looks very rundown and cannot comment on these rooms. Owner was very helpful.

Quite a few of the tap washers need changing as the constant drip and water noise was quite evident in the quiet of the night. Loved waking up to birdsong from the golf course each morning.

I just found the unit was very clean and tidy. Everything i needed was in place, I never worked out the proper use of the TV but I watched free to air and went to sleep. I could have made an effort and used all streaming services available. Excellent property and value for money

The front desk closed at 6pm on Friday and I was given a code over the phone from a woman, without giving much the detail where it was to be used. Luckily, there was an after hour mobile number that I could call. The lady owner told me to use the code on the digital lock at my room after she told me so. I was charged twice on that day, but got a refund a week after. The owner was very helpful and friendly. The positive is that it is quite quiet inside room although it is situated alongside the highway. I couldn't hear heavy vehicles go past. It is also very convenient to find places to eat, e.g. KFC, "Maccas", Chinese (closed after 9pm). One big negative is that the room did smell a little, probably from someone with body odour. They should have used air freshener when cleaning up their rooms.

We didn't end up staying, the room smelt of smoke (inconsiderate workers), there was some black mould on the ceiling in the bathroom and the state of the Motel out front is terrible. We also booked here based on there being a pool. When we arrived we were told the pool no longer works!!! It looks like there is NO care or love from who ever is managing this place. The person at reception was understanding about us wanting to cancel, she was the only great thing about the Wayfarer.

Has a derilict, abandoned air. We actually thought the motel was abandoned at first and that we had the wrong address. The office is not manned at all, phonecalls not answered, after ringing out a message says the mailbox is full, all outdoor plants shown in the advertising photo were dead, left over rubbish from previous guests in the bin in the room, shower clogged and spitting water, microwave handle broken, shade cloth over pool torn and hanging down, towels threadbare, and air-conditioning hit and miss. Definitely would not recommend.
