The room was clean. The staff were courteous. We were very disappointed that breakfast was not available on site. The advertising and signage out front indicated that breakfast would be available to guests. Breakfast was the reason we booked this particular motel in Taree.

This is a motel, on a highway so it is what it is but, the room was very clean, beds comfortable, check in & out was easy. There was a little bar fridge, kettle and microwave in the room, and split system. Was great for an overnight stop and staff were friendly at check in.

A basic little motel, that suited what we needed. Good clean room, comfy bed, the only downside is that they should have extra pillows, one each was not enough. Even though it was busy, it was quite. Staff friendly. Great price. Would definitely stay again.
