Being right on the highway meant that it was very noisy with trucks moving through the night. Parking was a bit difficult for us, hard to get out.it was comfortable and very clean.

Great sized family room. Even though it is on the highway, we couldn't hear the noise of trucks and cars. Parking was a little difficult to get in and our as the room next to us had a trailer connected to their car so were sticking out and a car parked opposite, made it tricky for me to get my car out.

Got a noise complaint at 6pm! For unloading the car too loud! If the proprietor wants to run the place as a trucker’s dormitory, great, but don’t advertise the property as a Motel and take bookings from the public. There are plenty of options in Murray Bridge 15 minutes away.
