Location, reception and housekeeping staff, cleanliness, safety and security are all excellent. I booked a cheap room and it was basic but had everything I needed for a one-night stay and was scrupulously clean. The bed was comfy, the bedding high quality, great reverse cycle air conditioning and as a lone female traveller I felt very safe and secure. Thankyou Opal Inn!

The website stated you could check in at 2pm. We arrived at 2 and were greeted at the door by staff and was told they were closed until 3. I was also told to go along to the Bar nearby and they would help me. I was told by the bar staff ‘I don’t know why they do this as we have no idea what goes on’. NOT HAPPY. If I had not already paid, I would have gone elsewhere. How do you expect to get decent ratings when this is how you treat customers. Also, there was no cutlery or plates. I definitely would NOT recommend your motel.
