With confirmed booking through online booking and email also stating confirmation, upon arrival my partner had waited for 2 people ..separate other bookings to be finalised although they were advised that their bookings were cancelled then for us also to be told no you don't have a booking either, as my partner came out to our car to get my phone to prove confirmation of booking the receptionist shut the doors and locked them and also shut the roller doors, without providing any information as to why not bothered to help us with resolving the matter and thus occurred at around 7 pm. Highly rude and very neglectful, appalling that we can't be provided reasoning. Being a local yet made to feel like we aren't even worthy of explanation for understanding what's happened and where/when our money would be refunded..., I'm just going to stop there should anyone else who books here especially being Australian, warning as you will see and feel this "motel" discriminates as they mainly provide for "their culture" we had to sleep in our car .

Great location for dropping off a Caravan rental and having somewhere to stay before heading to the airport the next day. We walked half a block between the two. The lady at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I needed to do laundry and the laundry services had closed for the day, so she drove me to the closest laundry mat to help out. The room was quiet. Balcony was a nice, quiet addition. Would stay here again!

Free Shuttle to the Airport was the main reason chose this motel. Bed was a bit on the hard side, but have slept on worse. Lack of stove top a bit of a pain if you stayed more than one night and wanted to boil an egg etc there aren't many restaurants nearby
