This place is beautifully maintained and it is evident the owners have put a lot of care into it as it is very nicely decorated inside and out and is absolutely spotless. The pool area is beautiful with tropical plants and tables & chairs. I would highly recommend this motel. My only regret was not having another day to enjoy the pool.

If there was a level above EXCELLENT for my rating, that's what it would have been for this property. My husband and I were trying to think of a better country motel that excelled this stay but couldn't. The room was spacious, extremely clean and well equipped. The gardens were lovely and calming. Would definitely recommend this property.

Comfortable room with seperate area with jason recliner to watch tv. Spacious and had provision for heating food with microwave plus some crockery and glasses toaster and kettle. We had king spa room and was at back of property so very quiet away from main street. Short walk to shopping precinct . Only stayed one night but was comfortable and welcoming after long drive. Would stay here again

Either I stayed in a different room to the one photographed, or the photographs need to be updated. The room we stayed in was far better than expected. The room is very well appointed with plenty of space and it is clear that the property is immaculately maintained. I'd definitely stay again and hopefully will have more than one night too.

We were pleasantly surprised by everything about our room. The room was very spacious, the bed was comfortable, it was very clean and it felt like home away from home. The lounge area had a big tv and two comfortable recliners and we were encouraged to sit there rather than to watch tv in bed as we often do at other motels. The bathroom was also spacious and very clean, and the shower had good water pressure. I struggled to find anything wrong with the property.

The Location of the property is nice, the property is well presented and neat. My wife and I spent a 1 night stop over at the the property, arrived late in the day, immediately walked the 15 minutes down the road to the local pub for dinner, departed early morning. We then discovered 2 days later they unexpectedly charged our account a fee for possibly having food from the mini bar!! We disputed the matter through email as we did not have anything from the mini bar. The response from management was they were unsure which room number we were staying in? Now no reply to our emails from them, we have called and left messages and no reply. The fee is not high for a piece of food, and i would be more than willing to pay for a consumed item, if in fact we had consumed an item, it's the principle of the matter, and the fact extra charges were taken from our account without question.

I had an unfortunate experience at this property. The owners, who also do the cleaning themselves, called me after my stay to inform me that I left a few tissues in the room. I found this unnecessary and unprofessional. It would be more appropriate for them to hire professional cleaners rather than contacting guests about minor issues. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

An absolutely fabulous accommodation far beyond expectations. From the minute we walked into reception and the greeting from the owner Tracey was so warm and friendly a credit to her. One of the best welcomes, offering warmth and friendliness. My wife and I and our son were amazed how we felt important and treated in such a fabulous way. Thank you Tracey we will never forget our short break with you and hope we can visit again on our way to Sydney. Tony and Linda XX
