Perfectly located, this older style property, is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The staff went out of their way to be kind and helpful and were very professional in a difficult personal situation with guests. It is rare that I feel actually cared for, rather than just provided for, in a motel.

Fantastic staff...Rooms are more than sufficient, clean and tidy...My only negatives are , No power points beside the bed , to plug laptops etc into and being a tall gent , I find the shower heads are mounted too low...Both are only minor issues tho...I have stayed here numerous times before and will continue to do so in future...I rate the Ashwood Motel a very solid 9 / 10...Thank you for another fantastic stay...Cheers...Bruce.
