During check in, property manager saw us waiting outside for our keys for a few minutes, but didnt bother to unlock the reception door and great us until we called his mobile. Bedroom has a light outside that cannot be turned off. We messaged the property manager asking him to turn it off, he said he would but did not. Impossible to sleep. Not recommended.

Just don’t.

Over 2klms of rough corrugated road to get to a tied old run down excuse for a hotel. Cobwebs in the roof, overgrown lawns and weeds for gardens. Dirty shower and uncomfortable bed. Very sad place and very sorry I booked this one.

Very good experience. Seems like the new owner is doing a great job at tidying the place up and buying new equipment such as smart TVs, exhaust fans in the bathroom, electric blankets and other equipment. We loved the location and the friendly dog as well. Very highly recommended

Great location, very close to the 12 Apostles. Lovely green outlook over paddocks. They have started some maintenance at the reception office and I would imagine they plan to continue with maintenance around the whole property. Pricing was appropriate. I would stay again. I do enjoy quiet venues. Thank you.

The property did have a bit of a run down feel but also felt homey. The check it was lovely and even got shown where our room was. The explanation of the property did leave a bit to be desired with the hand drawn emergency maps on the door being very outdated showing a pool on the map. The clean commitment to cleanliness was not signed or dated and looked very old. The bedding and the towels smelt really bad not sure if that was due to lack of use but it did mean we went straight out and brought sanitising spray to make use feel better. The room service dinner which we ordered was delicious and super well organised so did appreciate that. The onsite dog was lovely and fun to play with. The feel of the place was nice so even with the negatives we would book again but we would bring our own sheets, pillow and towels.

Power outage in cabin within 30 minutes of check in but lights still operating. Moved to new cabin and no power or lights available here. Proprietor said it was an external problem, low voltage or some such, no idea when it would be rectified. Said he had a generator but could not use until power failed completely. Cold day (around 13 degrees) no power to run aircon, or electric blankets, no lights, no television, no refrigerator.. We had to leave and seek accommodation elsewhere. We will be seeking a refund of our money!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The dog there could understand English, but not the staff or people handling the property and no amenities were provided inside the room and even an used hand soap was left out in the bathroom with hairs left as it is everywhere. Spiders were seen crawling on the bed and under the sink in the bathroom and scared the hell out of us in the night. The heater was very loud and making thudding sounds whenever it auto stopped/restarted disturbing the sleep. Worst ever accommodations and for the exorbitant prices changed, never will recommend any one to this place ever, even if they give it for free. Not clean, not safe inside, not quiet. The TV is a small chinese table top TV where noting works and hardly any english channels to watch and not a smart TV either.

People were lovely and the room was decent other than the doors that were a little broken. The bathroom door was hard to close and it was very hard to get open again. Road to the motel is quite rough for a smaller car. Also very easy to hear neighbours, one person was on the phone outside a room near us until after midnight and we could hear the whole conversation.
