Amit from the staff was extremely helpful. The motel is excellent for a pocket friendly stay where one can use the common kitchen for cooking and very near to the sink hole and a few mins drive away from the blue lake

The check in and check out was polite and nice. The room number one that we stayed in was in excellent condition and very, very clean. The unit was easy to get to and the parking was just outside. Everything in the room was perfect, including the view over Mount Gambier from the front window. This motel is a ten out of ten for us and we would defiantly stay there next time. Very good value for money and very helpful staff members. Regards Sharrone and Pete.
