Staff are friendly and accomidating to your needs. Woolies, servo and pub within walking distance. The room was clean and tidy however the peeling yellow paint dose makes it feel dated. The accomidation is also just off a main road so bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper.

Clean and Tidy

Lovely man at the front desk - efficient and friendly check-in. Room was spotlessly clean and the aircon had been turned on prior to my arrival to ensure a cool room. a great experience overall. Only thing is, I was in a room close to the road and the trucks/road traffic was quite loud all throughout the night. Expected for a roadside motel though. Just a note to noise sensitive travellers to have earplugs at the ready.

Older property with a lovely manager. Rooms old but clean and well maintained. Property outside could be tidier but given the recent rain and heat in the area very understandable. Don’t be put off by the exterior appearance. Easy walk to many pubs for decent meals with Maccas directly across the road.
