Fantastic motel on the Main Rd, very little road noise. Comfy beds, amazing pillows, fresh towels daily, hot water and great shower. Bigger than average fridge and a microwave. Undercover parking with plenty of room to park and get your gear out. Only downside was people smoking under the car port outside our unit.
