Although a distance from town, the nearby cafe/restaurant suited my needs. I thought the restaurant attached to the property was closed and realised too late that I checked pre opening hours. Would stay again as it happened to be very close to the turnoff I needed to take on my way to Parkes.

A was staggered to find out the advertised restaurant had been closed for some time ! The bathroom, all the modern had a dispensing, toilet tissue module, the same, as you find in a council toilet sheet by sheet! And when you turn the shower on the entire floor, floods – I was not desperately impressed with this hotel at all

Check in started badly with reception unattended and a contact phone number posted on the door. Fortunately, we had a charged mobile phone – but it is inexcusable to not have the reception attended during normal business hours. A voice provided the lock box code, which contained 8-10 envelopes for incoming guests. The restaurant was closed, possibly due to a holiday absence – but would not open until several days after we departed. A hot cooked breakfast was available, cooked to order and well done. Wi-Fi was available but limited. Service staff were attentive and helpful, even when the reception was again unattended at checkout time and the cleaner processed the payment for breakfasts. A nice motel, reasonable pricing let down by the lack of presence!!
