We found our accommodation to be clean, tidy and parking to the unit was accessible. The motel is away from the main shops but that is what we were looking for. Very easy to drive back into the main shopping area. We enjoy the quiet and have stayed here before Thank you

Concerned about the laundry. Linen (bedding and towels) a bit smelly, are they using enough detergent to wash items? Room a good size and comfortable, site/location handy and quiet. Cafe onsite a bonus.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I dont like to complain but this was the worst hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed all over SA, interstate and overseas. The room was very dirty, the internet didnt work, and the milk was rotten.
All the floors looked like this. Including the bathroom.
This was a clean white face washer I used to wipe the bench. All surfaces were this dirty.
This is the worst part. Dirty cutlery, empty sugar packs, dried orange peel. Foul. This was all jambed in the windows sill above the bunks. It must have been there for weeks. Clearly our room was not cleaned before we stayed

Was dubious after reading other reviews. For the price of the room we were pleasantly surprised and would stay there again. I would give it a three star rating out of five. Obviously the rooms could be improved but we were quite comfortable.

Location was convenient for our stay and maybe it's a case of if the price seems too good to be true it probably is. It was nice that the air-conditioner was on so the room was already cool on a hot day. One bed had stained sheets, the room had an off-putting smell, the crockery/ cups weren't clean so had to go get dishwashing liquid to use them, badly stained chair fabric, just didn't feel clean and overall sanitary.

I believe the management honestly were trying to keep the property clean and respectable and within a price range for locals to seek safe shelter. Not really appropriate for out of towners seeking cheap accommodation. But I congratulate them for their efforts.
