It was an overnight stay on our much longer trip. For a small country town it was OK. Gave us a comfortable bed, hot shower and adequate facilities for overnight.

I can’t believe the positive comments people have left for this hotel. Based on my stay I cannot understand. The hotel is sold rundown and the rooms are very neglected. Starts by the stains in the carpet as you walk in the door continues to the hole in the wall behind the bed the hole in the ceiling above the TV. The fruit that takes up half of your hanging space in your wardrobe so can’t actually hang any clothes Staining in the toilet staining in the shower. It just continues and goes on and on. The walls are so thin that you can hear the conversations in the range. Next Door the curtains are not blocked out and so thin but they let the light in outside or if you’re inside with the light on shows what you’re doing inside the room to the people outside. Also, the noise from people coming up and down the stairs or just walking past your room. We absolutely froze and the air-conditioner doesn’t work so unable to maintain any walk in the room.

Motel units are in a very plain block at the back of an old colonial house in need of lots of attention which serves as a restaurant but it was closed. It was self check-in so i never saw the staff/manager. Restaurant closed was bad as there was only a pub open for mesls in town! Room itlwd was basic with no frills but it worked ok

Always stay at this motel as the rooms are comfortable and it is in a quiet area The only problem we had was with the sliding glass doors as we found them very hard to close as they kept getting stuck but other than that everything else was fine We will definitely be staying there again

Very disappointing. No value for money paid. The mini bar was full of stuff leaving no room for our things to keep chilled ( we were travelling) There was no milk left for us. Other guests talked/ partied till 1am on Sunday morning. There was no communication with management. The bedlight was in a box at shoulder height on the wall preventing you from sitting in bed to watch tv/ laptop We paid $161 a night ...a ludicrous amount for a bed and pillow essentially. We wont be going back and would not recommend this place to anyone.
