For the price my room and the facilities were great, as was the location. The staff were excellent. Upon vacating I had left a valuable ring in my room’s bathroom but happily, within an hour, the house cleaner and manager had contacted me. That is gold service.

Last time we stayed we has a spa suite and loved it. This time we had a standard room and it wasn't nearly as nice. Also had very poor wifi connection. My advice is to choose an upgraded room which are well worth the extra charge

Old motel

The room is big, the facilities are old and the carpet needs a good clean. It’s a motel but does not have a kitchenette, only a microwave. The walls are thin and it is hard to enter the motel from the other side of the road.

We stayed in Room 7, a quiet room at the property. Staff at reception in the original, historic building at the rear of the property were polite at both check-in & checkout, & prompt in providing a replacement electric jug for the faulty one in our room. Included parking at our front door was appreciated. The room itself is dated, with peeling wallpaper & worn carpet, but clean. Spacious room with a 2 person lounge chair, small table, 2 dining chairs & t.v. included. The furnishings are period style & charming, in keeping with the main building. The queen bed was pretty good, however an upgrade on the mattress would be fabulous! Heating in both the room & ensuite is provided & appreciated. One bedside lamp is provided, worked well. 2 wall lanterns above the bed not working. Ceiling lights & ensuite lights worked well. Blockout drapes in room appreciated, for a sleep in, after our fabulous night attending the Eagles Greatest Hits concert at Wrest Point. Bar fridge in room works well, tea, coffee & sugar provided. 2 x serves of milk provided, would be helpful to have a few more. We purchased extra milk from the corner shop 2 blocks walk from our room, on Hill Street. The shower over bath tub worked well, hot water available. Good stay for 1 night, for the price we obtained through Wotif, AUD$89.55.
