This is a really great motel. It was lovely and quiet and I actually slept really well which is unusual when away from home. The room was very clean and well maintained. There was a microwave, kettle, small fridge as well as crockery which if staying for a few days would be very handy, especially with so many shops at the end of the block. Staff were lovely and helpful. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The room was very comfortable spacious and nice the only issue we had in unit 6 was the air conditioner was a bit noisy other than that we were happy we booked an adjoining room for my sister and her partner also where there was an empty tissue packet in the bathroom but overall the rooms were good and it was a great location close to everything

It was clean and convenient to all places. The signage at the front was not so good, hard to find and drove by it a couple of times when going back to it…. A grey sign with grey wall..not so good.

Kristina

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and tidy rooms with basic cooking and bathroom facilities. Motel is close to fast food outlets and a brief drive to a shopping centre. Unfortunately, the motel was fully booked which meant lots of noise. Between that and an uncomfortable mattress, it was very difficult to sleep. A fair place to stay for a night.

Great motel

Booked for an overnight stay prior to surgery. Friendly hosts. We had room #14. It was nicely appointed and had a spa bath. Had a cute little bottle of fresh milk in fridge which sadly is becoming rare. Close to several eateries...short walk. We would stay again. Affordably priced.
