Guest Reviews
- Russell (7/5): Walking distance to KKC clinic - Friendly staff, quite, clean, comfortable bed. Bathroom and kitchen are dated.
- Gaunder (7/5): -
- Takau (10/5): Awesome. - Really liked the bedroom that I had booked out, it was like a mini ensuite which was great because there was a mini fridge for my drinks a tv for entertainment and the location was perfect for my liking. It is close to a shopping centre which was awesome because I wasn't using the shared kitchen a lot but had my cravings satisfied nearby. The bed was absolutely comfortable, was a little chilli at night but other than that everything else was clean and the customer service was awesome and on to it. Nothing wrong to be fair, everything from my experience was great! The price of the stay was convenient and affordable so I do recommend giving this place a try.

- Victoria (8/5): Overall it was a very nice stay - Was very comfortable and clean aswell as quiet.. Took a while to get someone's attention when arriving even after calling the phone #s and getting no reply, after about 15min finally some o n e came to reception... had trouble with internet but also eventually that was sorted aswell 👍
- Ane (2/5): - Very small and soft beds. With two persons, you'd roll out of it in the middle of then night. Also, the shared toilets weren't particularly clean.
- Nirmal (3/5): - Room is not cleaned enough and toilet
- Brianna (9/5): Great place to stay. Would stay again - Great location, friendly staff, convenient parking right outside our room, good facilities with everything you need for a stay, comfortable beds and bedding The apartment smelled like oil from cooking, overall it was clean, however I think the range hood vents or walls could have done with a deep clean to make it smell fresh
- Tania (5/5): - Upstairs in main building, shared bathroom with tiny doors,
- Karen (8/5): Adequate - No breakfast It would be better that you can book by speaking with the motel owners like old times
- Sarah (7/5): Good stay - Location was great. Clean room which was very big and spacious. No milk to go with coffee facilities, not point buying one when only staying one night. Walls very thin, got woken up at 11pm by noisy neighbour's.
- Rebecca (10/5): Great value, clean, good location and friendly helpful staff - Motel is very clean, quiet and great customer service
- Petelo (5/5): - Location The room was small and shower was no lock when you shower, and when you shower your head touch the ceiling, very low, i have to bend down and shower .
- Meghan (2/5): -
- Paea (10/5): GREAT PLACE TO STAY-GREAT STAFF! - everything were great! -

- Henare (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay. The service was excellent and the location is so convenient to where I had to be. I will definitely be returning again
- Marinel (5/5): Wouldn't return to same room and only would return if last option - Location, manager Room was full of ants, no wifi, little information for what resources available. Had to ask for milk for coffee. Over priced for a room

- Olly (9/5): - The place was easy to find snd the staff communication was excellent
- Parneel (5/5): I can say it was average coz according to the weather floor needs carpet - There was no breakfast provided so can’t say anything There was no carpet rugs on the floor and floor was very cold. There was no toilet floor mat. Only limited amount of toilet paper supply and toilet paper was not provided on every room service
- Rachel (10/5): Awesome - If 8t was long term and cheaper i be there Was great
- Kalo (7/5): Abit surprised that we had to pay $30 for late check out at 11am - Location is ideal for where we needed to be. Shop, takeaways and more are right across the road which is super convenient. First is The vinyl floor was too cold, a rug in the lounge at least to keep the feet warm would be nice and comfy but you have a choice to keep your slippers on or leave outside the door. Last is roaches appeared out of nowhere on the cooktop

- robinson (5/5): An okay budget motel if you choose carefully, but avoid Rooms 7 and 13 due to heat, noise and layout - Strong shower • Towels, soap, and shampoo provided • Some rooms (1–7) appear more recently renovated • Room 7 had an ensuite • Room 7 is directly under the stairs and west-facing, making it very hot in summer • Room 13 (upstairs, east-facing) and Room 7 both suffered from heavy traffic noise and light pollution, making sleep difficult on a Saturday night • Shared toilets for upstairs rooms • Doors only had handles, not proper door knobs, so they swung in the wind and banged unless locked • Bathroom door in Room 7 had no handle at all
- Zhiwei (10/5): -
- Sophie (5/5): - Great location. Beds need updating - can feel the springs.
- Sonya (8/5): -
- Elyn Clayr (9/5): Good for what it is - The room was good & modern. Don't judge from the outside.🤣 Noisy neighbours (Other people staying at the motel were loud till late 1am)
- Shu (8/5): -
- Jeremy (8/5): was great i will be back again - great location and had a nice private deck to sit on. and close parking.
- Emma (3/5): Cheap maintenance - The location no milk in the refrigerator for cup of tea, bed was hard, shower water filled the shower basin, only given two towels had to ask for more, as we booked for 4 people. Walls in the bathroom need to be wiped down, couch was uncomfortable. And oven hood needs a good clean. Shower door does not close properly and shower felt loose, you can see the gap between the shower and wall.
- Kartik (5/5): The cost for that room should be $80-100 max. Or else they need to renovate. - Location Broken window glass not safe for kids. No lock in main door of washroom. No sofa or chair, no table. All extension wires were open on floor, again not safe for kids. Washroom and toilet’s doors were very congested..
- Jessie (8/5): -
- Shannyn (9/5): Great value for money, nice and tidy. - Everything, except one thing! Lol The beds were a bit firm.
- Ali (3/5): Night out ..disappointed stay - The staff were friendly The stained bed sheets were definitely not good we had to sleep on top of them
- Murray (8/5): Very enjoyable. I would stay there again - Plenty of space in the kitchen/lounge area. The Google TV was not good. Very hard to navigate. Programmes kept freezing for 5-10 seconds which degraded the watching enjoyment
- Vishal (4/5): - Host's response to resolve faulty aircon was not professional at all.
- Han (6/5): - 오래됐지만 깨끗한편이에요.침대가 생각보다 편해요. 시걸이 넘 오래 됐지만 앞에 마트있고 가성비가 좋으니 참고 잠만 잘만함.침대는 편해요
- Angela (10/5): Edith the manager was so lovely and helpful! The studio room felt clean and comfortable. Felt very w - Edith the manager was so lovely and helpful! The studio room felt clean and comfortable. Felt very welcomed. Thank you. From Ange
- chetankumar (1/5): Sorry to say but Overall not happy with staying.! - Need to lots of changes in the property.it’s backpacker but cost like a Hotel or Motel. I don’t like anything in the property also bed smells in bed sheet in unit 1 and Receptionist Behaviour is not trustworthy.once we check out she walk round unit.
