One night stay on the road to QLD.

Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

Lovely

Clean, nice and comfy bed! Super sweet and helpful staff. Even had a tiny French press coffee (and the coffee ofc) besides the two types of instant coffee. Felt they had put a lot of care into the experience of the stay.
