The girl at the reception was very friendly and efficient. Although it is an older motel it was a good size room and bathroom. It was also very clean.

A typical old-fashioned Australian motel, it has everything and everything is old, but it does not affect the use. Parking is convenient, next to an Asian restaurant, and you can get discounts when staying at the hotel.

Booked two rooms sleeping 6 adults. Called 4 days prior to ask for early checkin, identified one room slept 3 and other 2, 1 bed space short. Addressed by reception or so I thought until we checked in only to find 1 bed short. Changed to another room that slept 3 however airconditooning not working and room had a damp smell…..not a pleasant stay given 33-35 degree weekend temps. Hotel presents clean however run down and requires renovation throughout.

It's about to undergo renovation which is great. At the moment it's somewhat run down but was absolutely fine for an overnight stay. Staff at reception really nice and welcoming.
