Bluestone Motel was well positioned. Rooms were very comfortable, clean and tidy, and spacious. Modest bathrooms but functional. The restaurant however was very very expensive. The food was tasty but ordinary, sadly it was definitely not worth the money.

The room was very clean and well laid out. Staff were friendly and courteous. The room itself had some minor damage to interior walls, but that did not have any impact or adverse effect on our stay there. We were overall very happy with the location and facilities.

After reading some negative reviews about Bluestone I was wondering what I was in for. I was pleasantly surprised to find a tidy, a bit dated but slightly renovated room. It didn’t smell and the on site restaurant was convenient and was pretty good. Breakfast was also pretty good.

Comfortable bed, aircon working very well, also liked having the ceiling fan. Everything was clean and functioning properly. Tiled floor felt nicer than the carpets you find in some places that feel a bit worn or dirty. Quite a nice sized room, definitely not pokey. Great having the dining table & chairs & still felt spacious.
