It was a bit of a walk from the coach stop. If you intend to come to Bourke by coach, you should advise as such, or you might be locked out when security gates close in the early evening. Meanwhile, I liked the wall panels around my little room, which was pretty comfortable.

Did not like the fact that an intruder came into motel area on both nights. Appears he was going through the ashtrays looking for cigarette bits. On both nights he took a chair from the front of our room and left it against the fence. He used the chair to scale the fence and escape from the property. Lucking all cars were locked.

Generally a standard property for the star rating. Some problems with a flashing Fluor in the bathroom. Room was on a main road and the traffic noise was intense. It would appear no effort has been made to attenuate this.
