The staff were friendly and the room appeared ok but dated; however, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable and there was a an underlying oder of stale urine that became more noticable during the night. An uncomfortable stay.

quiet

The hotel is quiet and parking out the front of your unit is convenient. The rooms are clean and tidy. Great to have toaster and microwave as options when travelling. Overhead fan and air-conditioning is great for summer nights. No WiFi was offered and the pool area is overgrown and looks unloved and inviting. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Room was not clean. The lock on our door was broken. The whole facilities of the Motel is not kept well and definitely not appealing to customers. Stains on the lace in the bathroom. Not what the internet shows. Very run down.

Tranquil, away from main road, able to hear birds chipping in the evening and morning. Rooms are clean, all basics are in the room. Solar heated pool. No WiFi, big advantage to get out of work. Easily accessible from freeway. Opposite the Nicol’s Winery and restaurant. Recommended!

Look for something better.

Motel of last resort, when nothing else is available. The only thing going for it is its proximity to Waurne Ponds shopping centre.
