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

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.

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.
