We walked into the motel to make a last minute booking for our family of four in Christmas peak season. The lady of the front desk was very helpful to get a room that would fit us, separate from the pub. The room itself was basic but clean and surprisingly quiet overnight, despite being so close to the pub. The motel is next to a park so that was handy for our kids to round around.

Good value, can't complain for the price. The staff were great and everything there that I needed but it felt a bit dated and not the most clean. I appreciated that I could get a single room to keep costs low.

The property is basic, a bit outdated, and probably could do with some repairs and upgrading. However, it is a cheap and convenient option for short stay accommodation.

I liked the price.It was a room over the hotel. The room was great,shared amenities,old but clean and a shared kitchen. I didnt like the staircase,especially with a large suitcase. Also the entrance/exit to the carpark was thru the gaming room or a longer route thru another door.

Stayed in the Hotel section, it’s Budget accomodation and old but clean, shared ablutions and ok for the price Accomodation in the area is hard to get Had a meal in the bistro, huge menu Maybe too big and wide ranging for the kitchen staff to cope with. Had a seafood platter for x 2 $84 was good size and well presented, but the hero‘s of the platter the Gummy shark / Flathead filets were all encased in a stodgy thick batter and you could not taste what was inside Would have been far better with just grilled fish so you could appreciate the taste There as just way to much Deep fried product on the platter hiding the taste

My stay would have been great if i could have had a shower... I stood there for at least 2 or 3 mins waiting for the hot water to come up from down stairs..to no avail. Instead of renovating the poker machine room try renovating the bathrooms in the hotel... they look like they are out of the 1950's and bring the hot water cylinders up to the first floor so the paying customer can have a shower.. other than that it was good.

Comfortable & great value

I stayed in an upstairs room above the pub, with private bathroom. Comfortable, great value & the kitchenette facilities made self-catering easy. Friendly staff and a major supermarket a short walk/drive away. Would stay again for sure.
