Needed a "pet-friendly" place to stop over on our trip back from Melbourne to Adelaide. While the motel is a little dated, the room was clean and well-equipped with generous supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc Service at both check in and check out were efficient and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good Malaysian Restaurant in the town (Camca Garpu). Overall a pleasant, refreshing way to break the journey.

Close to “white kangaroo viewing” but motel is very basic and in desperate need of renovation- staff shortages when we were there meant restaurant was closed but I doubt we would have been tempted anyway

Staff were very welcoming and room was fine for a stop over but not accom I would want to stay longer than that. Carpet quite stained and limited to very little crockery and cuttlery (one platic teaspoon and 2 knives). Very noisy fridge, old air con but worked well and good shower.

A good basic motel. Comfortable bed, everything was in good working order, shopping centre quite close by. Highway noise, especially from trucks, could be a problem for some but I wasn't concerned about it. John Quinlan, Bendigo
