Old facilities but clean. Very noisy and light in the room overnight. Was grateful though to be able to have our dog with us.

False advertising, your website states open 24 hours. Get there at 11.30pm, no booking as I was unsure how far I would be travelling. Place is closed and 24hour check in machine is not working. Update your website to show correct information.

There was no working light in the shower/toilet.
Minimal hot water first night & none for shower next morning.
Heater/air conditioning unit was too loud to have running so had to climb into bed to stay warm.
Cannot recommend this facility.

There is a pool but not usable the restaurant and bar not open limited hours
Hoping a year from now it will be up and running - lack of staff
Receptionist lovely
Room with a little extra care price would be higher - but definitely would stay again
Garden needs some care but again not a real issue

Staff were friendly, booked or family in (including our fur baby) last minute. We arrived late so didn't get to try out the restaurant. But rooms were clean, beds comfortable, basic amenities but was close to a 24hr food stop/petrol station which was handy. If you're after something flashy, this isn't the place for you. It had the charm of a country town motel.

Room was extremely neat and clean. Our stay was very short but couldn't fault any part of our stay.

I mostly photograph the outside of the building because I’m sure somebody will photographic inside. It’s quite dated. Maybe late 70s early 80s on the inside but for people who are concerned about parking a car with a trailer. There are 3 to 4 parking spaces available at this motel
I would recommend parking space number 12th with room 12. If you can that’s where we parked and we stayed in room number 11 which has enough room for two adults and three children. I’ve also added photographs of rooms which have ample parking next to them for large loads than a car and trailer as we were taking with us.

Besides waiting for over an hour for my meal and with no explanation. They should offered me a partial refund or something. The meal had way too much hollandaise sauce. The room was old fashioned and what i expected but i am not sure what was so superior about it to pay 145.00 per a night.

The wifi kept dropping out and no explanation when to check out.

The staff at the Motel were super friendly. The rooms were very neat and clean and had all the amenities that you could need. Good price, comfy bed, affordably priced

Staff are fantastic, rooms are a little outdated. The beds are very average. A lot of noise as the motel is pretty close to the main road. But I guess value for money and in a weird way, it is quite cosy.

Exactly what you would expect at a good Aussie Motel. Can park right near your door. It felt very secure. The breakfast was surprisingly exceptional.

We chose a cheaper room closer to the highway and didn't hear a thing all night. Rooms are basic but comfortable and very clean. Service outstanding. We Will definatly stay again. Highly recommended.

Mattresses in dire need of replacing. Staff are lovely. 'Pet friendly' room situated right at front of motel, closest to hwy, which set off dogs every time anything/one idled past.
$30 pet surcharge took $109.00 room cost (1st night only) to $139.00
Doesn't appear to have had any update to rooms/decor, since it was built in the 50s/70s?
Advised restaurant closed because chefs ill.

Rooms are basic, but very clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was a very good value. Dog friendly rooms. Overall very good experience.

Cold water, very old building and furnishings, door insecure, wire door unable to shut, rusty shower fitting. Water tastes awful, arm on couch fell off, repaint on hand basin peeling. Couldnt open drapes. Bathroom curtain just on piece of string. Noisy. Cracks in walls.
Slept ok! Lot of truck noise.

This is a base grade one star motel, it presents as such, so no one should be disappointed.
Very clean bathroom, walls, floor. Well made bed. Easy booking and check in

Management were super lovely! Wonderful to talk to over the phone and also on arrival.

We are travelling with 2 young children and also with a small dog and cat. They were great about us bringing the pets.

Rooms are bit dated but that was fine. They were comfortable and tidy.
Trucks come past regularly however we still managed to get the sleep we needed to continue our travels:)

The motel owner welcomed me with wisdom and kindness. As I put my phone against the pay machine I laughed and said, "It's so easy for the money to disappear. "
He replied, "But it is not so easy for it to come back! " Then he added, "But money is not important. Not really. "
I agreed. "Love is all that is truly important. "
He smiled and said, "Yes! Love for God first. If you believe in God? "
I smiled and nodded.
He beamed, "Then love God fully and all else will be right. Your thinking will be pure. Your words will be pure. And your actions will be pure. If you first love God. "
We only spent a few minutes together and yet this Sihk gentleman was able to both inspire and encourage me with his faith and wisdom.
