There are better alternatives in town

A hotel on the outside of the CBD with no direct pedestrian access other than a footpath down a grass embankment on the other side of a busy state highway. The room itself was not bad but there was a very odd overpowering odour which could suggest issues with plumbing. I don’t think I’ll book again

Great room and easy to get to by walking from bus station. Even though it’s off a busy road, the room was quiet. Didn’t get to try out the pool since it was rainy and a bit chilly, but appreciated that it was there. It seemed a little dated in the bathroom, but still clean and usable. Staff was great.

Paper thin

The loft room was dated and had rust in thr bathroom. The person showering in the next room at 11pm had music playing and i could hear everything as the walls are paper thin. This woke the whole family up and carried on until after midnight.

Love south islanders, they're super friendly and accomodating. The staff at Riverside were no exception. Price was on par with other motels in the area, but this was bigger, more private, has a pool and an awesome Japanese restaurant Sasa on site.
