Guest Reviews
- Mark (9/5): -
- Shane (7/5): - Rooms were clean. Good layout. Staff were friendly. Lo action was good close to public transport Didn't like the fact the place said it had a BBQ but BBQ was broken. Intended to use it.
- Beverley (1/5): We left at 10.30 at night as we couldn’t get any sleep. - Nothing The people next door, we could hear everything. They were drunk and noisy.
- Clanga65 (9/5): Comfortable and convenient - Position, comfortable bed, clean and nicely presented. Bright light on balcony which curtains did not black out
- Jessie (10/5): - Always friendly staff and excellent place to stay Was nothing to dislike
- Marty B (7/5): great for a quick stop - staff are nice and the restaurant was great Room was quite small
- Dana (10/5): Great 2 night stay in the Family Suite. Only complaint is that the doors do not lock on the inside - Conveniently located off the highway. Doors were unable to be locked from the inside
- Michelle (9/5): -
- Dennis (8/5): -
- Wade (10/5): Really a very good time - The staff are amazing. So friendly and accommodating. Meal at the restaurant were A++ too

- Catherine (5/5): Only stay in the executive rooms! - The bed was soft and towels and linen professionally laundered. I paid $160 for a double which was reasonably good value. I stayed during Covid when it had different managers who were really nice. They gave me a free upgrade to the executive rooms which are really nice, so probably my expectations were raised. I really didn't like my room which smelt on entry and there was nowhere to put things except a round dining table. Even the fridge had the tea and coffee making stuff on it and could not be utilized. If you had a large suitcase you'd just have to lay it out on the floor. I had no toiletries in my room, but this was just an oversight (I hope!) by the cleaners and the reception guy brought soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner over when I discovered this.
Also, unlike the executive rooms in the rear block, there are 6 steps up to each regular room and no rail! The time you totally need a rail for stairs is when you are carrying luggage, regardless of mobility needs!
Even though the motel was not booked out they put me next to very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours. These people talked loudly until midnight, also blaring the TV, often swearing. At 5am they were at it again! I rang reception at 7.55pm not to report them but to request a later check out due to these people. I rang several more times but the phone always rang out! The motel do NOT appear to have evening support for requests. In the morning I got through to reception and was denied an 11am checkout but told I could have until 10.30am which I am grateful for.
I looked at the restaurant menu and plated hot breakfast like $25, for the dinner menu $15 for entrees, $30+ for main meals.
In all, I'd recommend you go for the executive rooms only and pray you won't need them into the evening or after hours as they don't pick up the phone!

- Jeff (10/5): I shall be back and will be suggesting my managers put our staff at the Darra when in the area - The room, unit 2 was excellent. Great bed, a bit short of usb charge points. Five steps up from car park but ok… Nice people, quality food without any pretentious flowery things. Tasty, well cooked and very casual.
Portions can be on the larger side, but for honest prices, I think these people do ‘understand service’ and that is done nicely!
