Motel is conveniently located as a halfway stop to Sydney. The rooms are comfortable, clean and have tea/coffee facilities and a microwave. Onsite parking is convenient. The staff are warm and welcoming. It is ok to arrive after hours or leave early as the reception staff will facilitate that

Check in was made super easy and it was a nice surprise to come in to a warm room - the staff put the heating on for us as they knew we'd be arriving late! Very convenient location just off the highway. No frills and priced well. Thank you!

Super noisy along the highway and tricky access because of that 4-lane highway right in front. The room was big but noisy.

The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious and comfortable. Everything appeared to be well cleaned. The Motel was in a very convenient location for visiting a National Trust property we wanted to see. It would have been nice to have breakfast at the Motel but it was not currently available. Although on the main highway, traffic noise was not a problem.

For us it was a convenient location and surprisingly quiet given the close location to the highway. The service was very good. On the downside was the small size of the room and the tightness of parking. If the next car did not park in the middle of their allotted space it made it made it very difficult to park near the unit. But overall, we were pleased with the accommodation and facilities.

Can't complain about the staff. Made you feel very welcome and comfortable. unfortunately the position right next to the busy highway and railway line did make things a bit noisy during the night on the top floor. I do understand that this understandable.
