Guest Reviews
- Brenda (9/5): Loved it, one high backed chair would have been appreciated but everything was as it should always be - The room actually looked like the photos. Bed was very comfortable, linen was lovely and everything you needed was available. Room was particularly clean and fresh. This is somewhere that will go on our agenda for other stop overs. Not pretentious just easy
- Helen (6/5): OK for a short stay or one or two nights - Room was clean. Comfortable bed.
One of the bedside lamps did not work.
Not enough powerpoints for overnight charging of phones, etc. No points near the bedhead. No powerpoint near the table. Had to sit at bench on stool which was not ergonomic. Better facilities in room.
- Anthony (9/5): We are repeat visitors to location. - Did not partake
- Kai (7/5): -

- Kylie (7/5): -
- Alison (8/5): Good value -
- Adam (10/5): Will recommend to others and will book to stay again if passing through. - Most of all, it was the comfortable, non saggy mattresses.
Quiet spot, but close to restaurants, super market and only a 5min drive from centre of town. My only complaint (minor) is that we couldn't find a way to watch YouTube on the TV.
- Judith (8/5): - Convienent location to where we are going. Check in and out easy. room warm and comfortable The room was not serviced during our stay. The bed wasn't made milk not topped up, Nothing done in the room at all which was a bit surprising.

- Xuehui (7/5): We enjoyed the stay. - The room is very clean and provides adequate space. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It will be better if there is a public toilet in the lobby. My husband shared the room with my 15-year-old son and his friend. There were a couple of times we had to wait for the toilet in the room.
- Fonz (7/5): -
- Matt (10/5): -
- kathy (9/5): Great place and will be back - absolutely loved Foxtel, it was so good having a very large selection too watch during our stay,Also the room was very clean and comfortable and nice to have a two seater couch to sit on and relax. The only thing would be is a ceiling fan or a pedestal fan just to circulate the air ,the air conditioner was fantastic ,but didn't like to keep on all night as it got cold.so a fan of some sort would be great,And maybe some seats out the front of rooms and a covered in area to sit.

Good location
Very. Clean
Beautiful gardens whick I liked
Everything you need for a basic hotel room
5 minutes drive to local shops
10 minutes to main town
Outdoor pools are across the road
- JAMES (9/5): - All in all very good . No all good
- Michele (8/5): Great 2 bedroom unit - Great apartment in motel complex. It was very quiet when we stayed there between Christmas and New Year, though someone told me that there is noise from the factories behind during the rest of the year.
The guest laundry was excellent - it didn't require having exact coins, instead you just went to reception and paid there.
The motel complex is right opposite the local swimming pool centre, that has pools and a splash park, so his was a great addition to have so close.
The gardens are being well looked after - I noticed a couple of times that lady owner working hard in the garden, so I appreciated this. We stayed three nights, and weren't provided with a fresh supply of towels during the stay. I'm happy to reuse towels twice on holidays, but usually would like a clean towel for the third night. Saying that, there were actually four towels provided for the three of us, so one of us did get a clean towel on that third night, but not the other two.
The garbage bin inside the unit wasn't emptied during our stay, though the was a bigger bin nearby outside the unit, so we just emptied it daily into there. It wasn't really a problem, but it would have been good to have been told this or seen a sign, as we would have emptied our bin in the morning before going out for the day, instead of returning, and finding the bin full all day in the room.
I would like tax invoices to be automatically emailed upon payment. I had to ask for a tax invoice, and was printed out just a credit card slip, so I had to explain what I needed. The receptionist still didn't know what that was, and had to call another staff member to help generate it.

- Beryl (8/5): -
- Wood (10/5): - Space.
- Despoina (7/5): If you can fix the problem with the water tabs everything would be perfect 👌 - Cleanliness, quiet, heated mattress, air conditioner, spacious hot and cold water in the shower can not adjust. Too cold or too hot to have a proper shower 🥴

- Diana (7/5): Pleasant, adequate, older motel, good location. - Convenient location, pleasant reception, clean, comfortable bed. Quite adequate for basic well priced accommodation. Some fittings could be updated - obviously an older motel -soap dispenser faulty/broken, towels well worn but adequate, electric jug could be updated, garden somewhat overgrown,
- Matthew (9/5): -
- Tracy (8/5): Could improve a lot. - Location was great Shower doors and base need scrubbing.
The toilet roll holder is ridiculous
Beds arent very comfortable
The refillable shampoo & body wash was empty
The male at reception was a little rude to his female staff member.
Overpriced for what it is.
- Annette (7/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): -
- michael (8/5): comfortable stay and staff were pleasant and helpful - good size n/a
- Nigel (9/5): -
- sue (9/5): Comfortable and pleasant stay. Will stay again. Close to town and near to where I needed to be. - Had the choice to have bed and or room made each day but chose not to.
I was surprised at the comfort of the room from the outside the area does show this
Shower was great - good size. Water could have been a bit warmer, but the pressure was great.
Bed comfortable. Enough pillows but I take my own.
Great to have Foxtel as I don't have it at home
Good to have ground floor unit for any one with mobility issues.
Easy parking. Close to the public pool if I chose to stay in the summer. I have made a few comments made but only things that would freshen up the room - not trying to make it sound bad as it was NOT.
Some dusting around the walls could have been attended behind the kettle and microwave
The dining chairs and flowers a bit outdated. The chairs had no padding left
Needed dish washing liquid to ensure dishes washed
Also, a container for cutlery not just a paper bag
The gardens needed some attending
The curtains could not be opened
- JULIE (8/5): -
- Judy (7/5): For an o/night stay the motel provided us with everything we needed. - Clean, comfortable and warm. All essentials you would expect were provided. All as expected for the age of the property.
- Glenn (10/5): -
- Rhonda (10/5): - Great central place to stay, very accommodating .
