The Park was quiet, bed was comfortable and set out well. The bathroom had a terrible smell from the water and we had to leave the fan in the bathroom on all night to stop the smell from going right thru the room.

Stayed here with my sister. The room was comfortable and on the larger side for a motel. The television was a bit small to see properly from the beds and there was only one chair in the room. It was an easy walk into the town proper and the onsite hotel and bistro were interesting. We had a very nice meal in the bistro. All in all nothing to complain about other than the dust but this is to be expected in a dry outback town.
