The rooms dreary, dull very uninviting. Bedside light base were rusty, microwave had rust marks over it, bathroom door was warped and nits flaking off. Bedspread had a stain in the centre of it. AVOID booking this motel. When I told the owner she looked and was amazed I had complained .

The lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Whilst the property is old, our room was very clean and our bed was comfortable. The RSL is a few doors down the road and we had an excellent meal there. There is also a pizza place next door. On site parking was an available. It was a perfect and convenient stop for us on our way to Sydney.
