Fantastic facilities (snack room, lending library, free laundry and gym, coffee & tea all day). Very sizeable and clean room with kitchen facilities (including cutlery, crockery, pots & pans etc). Super friendly staff, across the road from Walmart and shopping and close to Creamers Field. Close to public transport options or an easy 30m walk into the city centre. Lots of parking available and easy access to the freeway.
