Guest Reviews

Kate (10/5): -
Carolyn (8/5): -
AndyJC (9/5): - Tidy, clean and comfortable, great pool and restaurant, friendly staff.
AndyJC (9/5): - Friendly staff, comfortable beds, clean, on the outskirts of town, set back from the highway, nice Saltwater pool and restaurant was fabulous, serving Indian food and western menu items.
Desiree (8/5): Safe location, convenient to services, spacious rooms, easy parking, friendly and helpful managers. - Location - out of town but conveniently close enough to town. Very safe location. Manager/owner was extremely helpful. Room was very comfortable and spacious but slightly overpriced and prefer brighter lights in motel rooms.
Jason (9/5): -
Cindy (7/5): -
Ann-Elise (4/5): The Abacus is usually a wonderful place to stay, unfortunately this time was not. - The staff were fantastic and friendly. The room we ended up with met the needs of our trip and the parking was very safe, directly in front of our room. I really appreciated the help I got to resolve the problems we encountered. When we first arrived, despite asking for it especially when we booked, our parking was not directly in front of the room we were booked in. Then we walked into a room that was not cleaned after the last visitor. Beds, bins, benches all very clearly used. The toilet soiled. I had to go back to the front end and ask for a new room late in the day. I was lucky to get the lovely lady at the desk before she left. She was kind and organised a second room. The second room was sufficient in terms of facilities and parking, however the tv remote was soiled, and the hot water jug needed to be cleaned before I could use it for my dad’s coffee. It really was disappointing that the housekeeping let down such a good venue.
Rhys (8/5): Great stay - It was quiet Was a bit expensive
Tony (8/5): nice and comfortable but noisy plumbing from next units - location very noisy

DETOUR (9/5): -
Jessie (4/5): Hair in the bed, sheets not changed. Bathroom was filthy. TV Didnt work - The Location is great. Parking is easy. My Room was filthy. I am sure the sheets hadn't been changed. The TV didn't work. The bathroom had mud still splattered on the walls from the last person staying there. The toliet hadn't been cleaned at all and was filthy. Was very disappointing as I had stayed there several time before and never had these issues.
Dee (8/5): -
Liam (10/5): -
Taylah (10/5): -
Anne (10/5): - Alt - gode værelser og god morgenbad Intet
Kat (7/5): Pet friendly but small and noisy room - That we could get a pet friendly room at short notice, and there was a nice grass area to walk the dogs. Very small room, and very noisy - the traffic noise was very loud. Definitely not soundproofed. It was quite expensive for what it was, but as it was required at short notice, we had no other choice.
Eero (8/5): -
Cindy (9/5): -
Scholastica (4/5): Very disappointed; will not recommend this motel to anyone - The room was dusty on all surfaces; toilet not clean; fitted wardrobe had visible dust , there were mosquitoes in the room; we had to go and buy mosquito spray. The room lacked essentials like water glasses There is a huge difference between the Advertising Photos and the actual presentation of the rooms
Brown (8/5): - Comfortable, easy booking clean and tidy
Sheldon (6/5): -
Jennifer (5/5): - The price of this hotel is a convenience fee paid for its location, especially if travelling in an oversized vehicle and or trailer combination. Facilities are lacking against price charged. Dinner was satisfactory and speedy, but very pricey.
Dean (4/5): -
Cheryl (5/5): It was average and we would probably not choose to stay there again. - The staff were lovely and the exterior grounds were very spacious. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. Parking was very good. The King bed was poor quality, soft and jelly like with little support. The room was a bit run-down and not overly clean, particularly the floor and bathroom surfaces. The bathroom could do with an update. Lighting was not great and the location was a little noisy. The pool was disappointing. It was one of the reasons we booked this motel, but we did not use it as it needed cleaning and it had the cleaning hose sitting in it the whole time. It is also more of a splash pool with a very wide sand bar area- it looks a lot bigger in the photos.
Lora (10/5): -
Robert (9/5): - Comfortable stay…
Sascha (8/5): Heavenly beds - The beds were super comfortable and molded to your body. The shower wall didn't reach to the floor so when you have a shower water would splash out towards the toilet.
Brown (5/5): -
John (8/5): -
Linda (9/5): excellent - great staff, really good for pet traveller, food at restaurant was fantastic and staff so accommodating and helpful cattle truck stopping right near my room at 330am but that was on the public area, so not hotels fault
Celia (10/5): -
Gayle (8/5): Great stay, comfy beds! - Friendly and helpful staff, beds were amazing! The bathroom looked like it needed a good scrub. Was lightly cleaned. Was quite expensive at $200+ a night.
Jan (8/5): - Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable large room in a quiet location on the edge of town.
Axel +Karen (9/5): Will stay again when traveling through the ISA ... - Excellent courtyard for the dogs , the ONLY accommodation that have ever stayed in that actually supples 'shaving cream' as well as the normal shampoo -conditioner -soap ...EXCELENT !!! , Good meals in onsite restaurant ...
Paula (8/5): - A door on the bathroom of the spa rooms is needed. No privacy when using the toilet.
Scott (9/5): -
Tracey (10/5): Great place to stay when travelling with a pet - Pet rooms are great with fenced courtyard attached
Danielle (5/5): -
Wendy (8/5): Very good -
Robyn (10/5): Everything was comfortable and cosy. Loved it. - It was a safe, secure motel and we could park the car out the front of our room. We were arriving late after reception closed and we got sent a text message with instructions and what a wonderful surprise to walk in and find cheese and biscuits and bottled water in the fridge, this was just perfect for us as we had been traveling for 14 hours that day. So impressed and would highly recommend this motel. Couldn’t quite work out how to enter due to a road train parked out the front but we eventually found it.

Josepha (10/5): Exceptional - I love the fact that I can stay with my dogs and cat. The enclosed patio made it safe for my dogs and cat to have outdoor time. The staff was very welcoming and caring. One of my dogs had an operation and staff were caring in checking up on my dog in the morning. I would recommend this motel to anyone travelling with pets. The food was very nice and well presented. Travelling from a very remote area they were flexible with check-in times. If you dont have a car it is a bit out of town and you need to take a taxi into town.
Colin (9/5): Superb -
Dixie (7/5): Good -
Lashen (5/5): Passable - Beds are comfortable. Bathroom is dirty. Not cleaned and thick layers of mould. Not cleaned for a while. Beddings also not well washed. Dirt marks found.
Denise (10/5): Exceptional -
Michael (8/5): Very good -
Peter (9/5): Superb - The facilities the weather
Leeanne (8/5): Comfortable and clean. - Undercover parking, the bed was comfortable.
Sanjai (8/5): Very good - Staff members were kindly and dog friendly The washing machine and dryer were extremely old and could only handle a very small load. My laundry was less than half of a standard laundry basket. I spent $10 on the dryer, but my laundry was still completely wet. In the end, I had to drive to a nearby laundromat to dry my clothes. They shouldn’t be telling customers that laundry facilities are available.
Sherrie (10/5): Exceptional -
Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome staff, great food and comfortable bed for an overnight stay. Highly recommend!!
