We had booked 2 rooms for one night, and were going to book somewhere else after our day trip to Sydney. We liked the place so much we booked the second night there as well. The owners have done a superb job of renovating each room. They were clean, tidy and well sound proofed. The shower head was one of the highlights (you will see) and the bed was really comfortable. I cant fault this place.

Alles hat gepasst, sehr gepflegte Anlage mit schönem Garten. Alles sehr großzügig. Zimmer sind gepflegt und auch da hat alles gepasst. Bad in die Jahre gekommen. Das einzig Schlechte war der fehlende Wasserdruck in der Dusche - wirklich nur Tropfen aus dem Duschkopf - und ca 10 min Wasser lazfen lassen, um warmes Wasser zu erhalten. Nicht sehr umweltfreundlich und unökonomisch. Dennoch würde ich das Motel weiterempfehlen
