The property presents as an older building but the King bed room we had was very good. Everything we could need was provided. A small mini bar selection but reasonably priced. The room was very clean and comfortable with a small lounge, table with 2 chairs, coffee/ plunger and tea, microwave etc. Special mention for the lovely thick towels that were of a much more suitable size compared to the usual small offerings. The water pressure in the shower was also phenomenal. Checking in was a breeze and staff are friendly. Very short walk for IGA, Bakery,Pizza/burger/breakfast cafe...very good pancakes. The RSL club is also a very short walk. Would definitely go back when in the area again.

One night stay on the road to QLD.

Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.
