Our room was around the back of the motel. Room was very clean had everything we needed somewhere to eat, sofa to sit and watch tv, plates, cutlery and a microwave if needed. Air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was clean and the shower was awesome. Full range of linen including hand towels and face washer. Shower cap provided was good size. We utilised under cover parking. Interaction with reception staff was good. Would be happy to stay again.

The staff are friendly, there is a bit of traffic noise but at night noise from other guests was more of an issue. That being said, it was a comfortable, clean room and perfectly OK for a night or two. I liked the fact that I could walk from the Waratah local train station in 15-20 to the motel. Undercover parking is a bonus too.

Parking was an issue - certainly not enough spaces for 30 rooms. Felt uneasy about parking on the street. Otherwise an excellent stopover, very convenient for our needs and a reasonable price.

hotel is very quiet although on a main road. AC broke down during the night and hotel did not answer both emergency numbers. Windows were sealed shut so could not open. Had to wait until the morning to get the room swapped. Not good at all fortunately was not too hot. Not happy especially the non response to emergency calls. could have been a medical emergency

Great value for money. Room was very clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. Owner was lovely and kept us updated and well informed with check in. Easy parking close to rooms. Felt safe and secure in and around motel, well lit up areas. Motel was fully booked out for the night, but room was nice and quiet inside.

The motel room was very clean and spacious and convenient to the supermarket. It could have done with a proper freezer and more cooking facilities. The parking spaces were quite small and inconvenient for large cars.

We stayed in room 31, which was in an underground carpark all by itself. Close to the road, so noisy with my young family. Also one dining chair for a room of 5 people? So my kids ate dinner on the couch. Totally fine for one night stopover, but wouldnt have been ideal for a long stay. Staff were perfectly friendly. Affordable. Parking was good. Tidy, microwave, toaster kettle, tea, coffee all provided.

Our room was just right next to a petrol station. It has bright lightings over night, the room curtains is a bit small to block the light😔Internet connection was weak and Foxtel could not be connected. Motel situated beside the main road. There is noises. It is acceptable for just overnight stay at the price.

The property was clean and quiet. Air con in the room was very quiet as well. Bed, super comfy which the wife loved. Large shower and rain water head. You could dance in the shower or stand out of the way. Thats what a shower should be like. Would stay again here at the good price we had it for. Thanks

A friend was looking after the property, she was Brilliant on the ball and great sense of humour. Knew what she was doing , checking in was a breeze. A loose screw on drapes popped off, we let house keeping know. It was fixed right away. Not first time stayed at this property. So, we will be back. 😀

Convenient for shops, eateries and transport, with easy access to central Newcastle and Waratah station. Being on a main road beside a 24-hour service station brings traffic noise and light for some rooms.
