To say it was newly renovated, it would fail the approval of the Building code of Australia. no disabled hand rails, hand basin too high, no appropriate soap holder, Wasted approximately 12litres of water before hot water was available. These items spoiled what was a beautiful vacation.

It looked like it was undergoing Reno’s and had tarps on the roof. Had we not already paid we definitely wouldn’t have stopped. It was very noisy both with passing trucks and next doors beeping microwave at 5 in the morning sounded like it was in our room. No outdoor lighting under the verandah

Hi Rose,I am sorry your stay was not to your standard.At this time, we are in the process of upgrading our accommodation with minimal impact on our guests as possible. With the lights just after your stay, we installed some outstanding lighting to increase safety for all our customers.As part of our renovations we are installing roller shutters to help reduce the noise impact from the main road. With the beeping noises, we can't control what happens in rooms next door. We do encourage our patrons to respect others.Thank you for staying with us and we do hope you will consider us again in the future.Management Rest Motels

Overpriced and run down, don’t recommend at all
This property is so overpriced and underwhelming! I prefer to speak to someone when checking in to find out town information, this was mobile check in. The room stank when we walked in, carpet was dirty and table not clean. Felt like only the bed linen was changed in between stays! Booked & paid for 3 people, only 1 biscuit and 2 toiletry items supplied. Shower water ends up all over bathroom floor. No spare pillows, prefer to sleep with 2 and very noisy being on the highway. The door lock was loose so felt unsafe. Seems to be where the fruit pickers stay too as a bus turned up after we checked in so was noisy for a while.

We had settled into our room and later on in the night people turned up as a group and they were so noisy and at 12.45 am men talking loudly outside our room which was near the reception area I left a note plus text a copy to the accomodation phone number and no response Really spoilt our travels as every other accomodation we stayed at was excellent

The new managers running the different location were second to none. Being very helpful always going more than the extra mile to ensure a superb stay, the best of my three motel stays between Sydney to Adelaide. They had only just taken over running things but Do great credit to the group. Many thanks THarry M Vine.

The property is a little bit more tired than than the photos suggest, it was clean but there was a stale smell to the room, there is no fly screens on the Bathroom louvres so once you have vented the Bathroom you will need to close them to keep the Flies out. Its remote check in with no staff on site, i did not like this at all especially as the permanent residents decided to throw an open party on that Friday Night. If you enjoy groups of loud heavily built males staggering around drunk, swigging spirits from bottles, vomiting in the carpark and falling into cars then this will be the stay for you, i ended up abandoning the stay it was getting out of hand. Manager was apologetic when contacted and was going to sort this out, i hope he is successful would not wish the experience to be inflicted on any one else.

We chose this motel for the price. It is basic with one basin, kettle toaster microwave. Shower toilet room. No room for chairs or table. It has a queen bed and twin bunk beds. Comfortable and sufficient. Thank you. Easy remote check in

Sheets were stained with yellow blotches, crumbs left on the sitting table, stained carpet, toilet paper roll was half used with dirty finger prints. I went to use the extra blanket provided, when I unfolded it there was what I am hoping was mud but brown stains all over it. I had to go to Woolworths and by sanitizer spray and cloths to clean it before unpacking which isn’t what you want to do on holiday. Also had to borrow a sheet from a family member. The plug behind the bed wasn’t in the wall and cables were exposed. Very disappointed. I couldn’t believe the cleaners would leave it in such a state.

Like other reviews the accommodation is very basic. But the bed was clean and comfortable and water was hot in the shower. Some better attention to general cleaning could be made such as tables and bedside tables. The computer check-in without any staff was a bit weird but we managed in the end. Would only recommend as an overnighter but it did the job for us.

The room was very unclean. There were three bugs in the bed when I pulled the blankets back. There was a pill in the middle of the floor. The carpet looked like it had not been vacuumed in a very long time. The plates and cutlery in the room were dirty. The paper bag with the cutlery in it had been used multiple times previously. The floor in the shower was very slippery. When the room door was shut it was extremely hard to open as it kept sticking, to the point one of us could not open it at all.

Got everything we needed, excellent and practical!
Value for money; Clean beddings/linens; Clean room; Got everything we needed - microwave, toaster, fridge; Kudos to the housekeeping team because everything is spotless clean. Checkin/checkout is contactless and automated. Highly recommended when staying in limestone coast. Only drawback is the shower knob did not completely closed off the water flow (maybe loose gasket) - water dripping every 3-5 seconds. Did not bother us, but for sustainability/water conservation, hence I mentioned this.

Room was ok for the price, I liked the self check in once I figured it out. I wasn't real impressed when I pulled back the blankets & found what looked like a public hair on the sheet. It would've liked to have an exhaust fan in the bathroom so I could see in the mirror after showering.
