The good - big new tv, and comfortable queen bed. The not so good - fairly clean, although corners and behind bathroom door need attention. Well out of town centre. The bad - pool closed for maintenance.

Very clean room and areas surrounding, also a very thoughtful manager. We were running a bit late, so he called us to ensure all was well and made accomodations for us. No hesitation at all in highly recommending this motel. Also, a very affordable tariff.

Tidy room, great tv, partly upgraded. Everything was good apart from the old box air conditioner, very loud, even on quiet mode it was like a lawnmower in the room, couldn't hear tv and couldn't sleep so had to switch off.

Some very “tricky” photography used to present rooms. If you’re keen on dust over everything and a shower head at 1.7m height. This is your joint.

Roomy enough with bench space. Adequate lighting. No carpet which is good, new looking tiles. Wi-fi worked. Comfortable bed and pillows. The fridge worked well enough to freeze the Esky bottles. No shampoo though.
