The best bed I’d slept in during our travels. The mattress was so soft and the staff very friendly. Rooms very clean and great value for money. Would stay again.

Very clean room and areas surrounding, also a very thoughtful manager. We were running a bit late, so he called us to ensure all was well and made accomodations for us. No hesitation at all in highly recommending this motel. Also, a very affordable tariff.

The good - big new tv, and comfortable queen bed. The not so good - fairly clean, although corners and behind bathroom door need attention. Well out of town centre. The bad - pool closed for maintenance.

The room was clean. I was disappointed that there were no plates & cutlery and toaster and hair dryer provided.

Some very “tricky” photography used to present rooms. If you’re keen on dust over everything and a shower head at 1.7m height. This is your joint.

Tidy room, great tv, partly upgraded. Everything was good apart from the old box air conditioner, very loud, even on quiet mode it was like a lawnmower in the room, couldn't hear tv and couldn't sleep so had to switch off.

Average room. shower head was really low and the water dispersion was not the best. Not the easiest place to park my car as it is a 4WD.

Roomy enough with bench space. Adequate lighting. No carpet which is good, new looking tiles. Wi-fi worked. Comfortable bed and pillows. The fridge worked well enough to freeze the Esky bottles. No shampoo though.

The room was very dated but I found it clean & the bed was comfortable. The pool area was neglected, the pool was dirty & I wouldn’t use it for fear of getting sick.
