The owner was very friendly and easy going. The location is excellent. Not in the busy centre but only a few minutes walk away. The view from our room was lovely. The only noise was a pair of Kookaburras!

The staff were so welcoming on arrival and informed of the facility and where everything was. The pool didn’t seem heated which was disappointing. The room was very clean and we felt very comfortable to stay. Would stay again.

Very nice

We were very impressed as the manager rang us to ask when we would be arriving and gave us the choice of an upstairs or down stairs room. I said we would be there in 5 minutes and he said we could book in early and that the rooms were ready and we had a look at the rooms and we picked the one we liked best. We had the upstairs room and had a nice view.

Once I got hold of the owner I was unable to fault the friendly service, advice and knowledge of the area. Unfortunately the place was very run down and I had to keep the sliding doors open to freshen the room. However I loved the balcony view of the lake and the bed was fresh and very comfortable..

Room very old and smelt. Slept on a slat bed (usually motels have ensembles) mattress not too bad. Kitchenette and bathroom still in the 70’s. It looks like the owners DIY so they don’t spend any $$$ to modernize and bring it into nowadays. Showerscreen door hard to open and nearly came off the hinges

Not eco-friendly.

This is the third time I've stayed at this hotel, not in great condition but the people are friendly. This time they serviced my room even thought I did not put out the sign to have it serviced, very frustruting as I try to be as kind to the environment as possible and don't need clean towels and sheets every day.

You need more blankets. Only 1 blanket in winter for a Q and S bed. You have to put a curtin or blind in the shower or to pull acroos the kitchen area to stop the outside light in room 1 if you need to keep it on for security. It lights up the whole room and i think i got about 3 hrs sleep. The management where friendly, but unconttactable at 9 am the next day when leaving. We put the key in the key box to go, and realising we left something in the room but called several times with no answer so will have to sort it when at our next stop. The rooms where spacious, well cleaned and lovely for a overnight stop. Only took off 1 star for the lighting and no blankets.
