I was not able to use this booking. Staff said the motel was full and that they neither take bookings from wotif nor expedia. This booking was a waste of time. I would like my money refunded please.

It was clean and convenient to all places. The signage at the front was not so good, hard to find and drove by it a couple of times when going back to it…. A grey sign with grey wall..not so good.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and tidy rooms with basic cooking and bathroom facilities. Motel is close to fast food outlets and a brief drive to a shopping centre. Unfortunately, the motel was fully booked which meant lots of noise. Between that and an uncomfortable mattress, it was very difficult to sleep. A fair place to stay for a night.
