From the moment getting out of the cab, the lady and i, just felt more than welcome. Mary-Lou the owner is such a bubbly lovely person, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this motel and will definitely stay here in the future.

Not recommended

Reception was shut on our arrival. No instructions visible as to what to do. No phone number visible. Used hotels.com app to find number to contact owner. Costly phone call as my phone and I are from the UK and obviously having to phone an Australian number. Given a code to open key safe. Motel looks down at heel. Photos show the view from our room and looking into the room. Evidence of damp on ceiling tiles of room. The whole place needs some TLC. When the owner knows reception will not be manned why not message the person coming to stay via the hotels.com app and send the safe code and room number. The room was clean but uninspiring. It was not value for money. I was very close to giving up on the booking and finding somewhere else to stay. Two things going for it: walking distance to the town centre and excellent internet

Needs a bit of an update

Overnight stay small hotel with 10 rooms. The rooms have a double bed however plenty of room for a queen or king bed. Shower press was good but the bathroom needs refreshing and the door wouldn’t close. Fly screen on bathroom window was broken and unable to close window. No hairdryer. The benches and side table are new and look good. Not many places to select from in this location. The lady was very friendly at reception.

Our room was more of a compartment. Definitely wouldn't sleep 3 comfortably. Gap under the door. A/C takes ages to kick in. Bathroom barely big enough to turn around in. Bed very firm and small. No extra pillows. Items like tissues, bathroom bin, more than one small soap and some bench space would be appreciated. Reception was friendly enough.

Not quite sure how this place managed to be listed with hotels.com - what a horrible place. From the moment you drive up to the place with it's delapidated signs and potholed drive, disinterested check-in staff and dated rooms it doesn't inspire confidence. The only plus was that it was clean inside the room - but the bed was old with worn sheets, useless pillows and the whole place left you feeling tacky. Definitely not worth the money to stay here.

Happy stay

Happy with the accommodation. Great location. Easy walk to the Crown Hotel for dinner. Easy parking in front of the room. Stayed there 2 years ago and I can see the renovations done. Great job. Love how there are signs saying no smoking in side the room or outside the seat area.👍 Value for money.
