No staff on arrival. Staff unaware of our booking. Only people booked in that night. No restaurant as advertised. No heating or cooling.

Disliked: Staff & service
No one was available to check us in. The phone number for motel was not answered after several calls. We waited in wind, rain and cold for about 40 minutes without assistance or even just seeing some one. After 6.30 pm we drove to Geelong as only accommodation available. An elderly couple driving on a difficult road in the night in atrocious conditions. Motel has contacted and taken no responsibility ... and have been charged $180. Nothing nice to say

Unfortunately for what you’re paying, the rooms are quite small with a combined bathroom sink/kitchen area which was at times impractical. There was no WIFI at the property as the server was apparently down. With no reception in the rooms we were essentially off the grid for the night.

Good location, clean and comfy accommodation. Compared to other local accommodation this is good value for money. The only gripe is the rooms are not very well sound proofed, you can clearly hear the guests in the adjacent rooms. Didn't stop me sleeping once I'd asked them to be quiet.
