Quiet relaxed stay worth stopping
Lovely staff contacted us to advise late checkin details. Very quiet area. Older property but Rooms have been renovated with nice touches & good space with small lounge & tea/ coffee & biscuits. Mini bar also available.

Disappointing Lack of Care
The room had some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The hairdryer's steel nozzle was rusted and unusable, and there were other rusty items in the room as well. It was disappointing to see this lack of attention to guest safety, especially when every item in the mini-bar had a carefully placed price tag. I was unable to report these issues as the reception was closed during my morning checkout.

For our needs the property served its purpose.
It is an old facility that needs some upgrading.
However it was very clean and quiet.

One night stay on the road to QLD.
Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

A compact and comfortable motel with caring personal service, easy car parking and close proximity to local shops and waterside walks in this riverside village. Will stay again.

Clean room. Bed was uncomfortable (2 beds pushed together to form king bed) and strong perfume smell from cleaning products made me sneeze and cough all night. Fortunately the walls are not paper thin so hopefully I didn’t annoy my neighbours too much. Conveniently located.

Lovely
Clean, nice and comfy bed! Super sweet and helpful staff. Even had a tiny French press coffee (and the coffee ofc) besides the two types of instant coffee. Felt they had put a lot of care into the experience of the stay.
