A good clean motel with a comfortable bed and good facilities such as microwave, jug, toaster, table and chairs etc. An easy walk to lots of food options. The parking is a little tight but better than lots of other motels we have stayed in. Would stay again.

Conveniently located within easy walking distance to everything we needed. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff were very friendly when we checked in. Our parking space was a little tight for a large 4WD so we parked in the street. A couple of bedroom lights were not working.

AWFUL. Upon entering the room, we were “greeted” with a huge bag full of rubbish and a few glass bottles behind the door. Upon entering the bathroom, we were “greeted” with multiple hairs in multiple locations from previous occupants. There were human hairs on the floor around the toilet and under the vanity, and on the shower wall. Upon inspection of the bedding, we were “greeted” with dog hairs on the pillow cases. We invited the manager to inspect our room and she did. Manager told us the owner has a dog and they were definitely dog hairs on the pillow cases. She offered to vacuum the bathroom floor but nothing was offered re dog hairs. At 10:30pm, the loud talking and swearing (from a drunk person and others staying next door) began directly outside our room. This loud noise, including dragging our outdoor furniture around, continued for hours. We felt very uncomfortable. Our phone call to reception went to message bank. Manager apologised to us in the morning for the noise. Would never stay here again. Also, if you don’t like smelling neighbours’ cigarette smoke, then stay somewhere else.

The bed was very comfortable the shower strong and the heating worked. Although I felt we paid for a room that was waiting to be renovated. The exhaust fan in the shower didn't work and there was no sink plug. The light fitting was just hanging on three sides, the carpet stained and the ensuite door and wardrobe door off the rails and not sliding. ( my husband got them working.) There was coffee powder stain on the carpet, a empty drink bottle under the bedside cabinet and wrapper under the counter with no plastic bag in the bin.

The 2 bedroom apartment was relatively spacious and has been refurbished at some point not too long ago. However the cleanliness of particularly the rugs and carpets left something to be desired. Some of the fixtures, especially the bathroom were broken or in a state of disrepair. Overall though, it was comfortable and suited pur family well for the night we stayed.

The pictures were misleading. We were given a room that looked nothing like what was advertised. The light in the bathroom took ages to work. The toilet seat was loose. Stains on the sheets. The only good thing was the location.

I have stayed at Estelle Kramer a few times now when travelling to the area for work and every time staying there has been excellent. The room is clean and inviting upon opening the door. The shower is amazing. Love the options with shower heads! Close to town with food options across the road or a short walk away. Conveniently located. Looking forward to coming back for further stays.

I was not given the room which was advertised. Because it was a busy night, I was given an unrenovated room, despite only pictures of the renovated rooms being advertised. I paid for a Queen room but was put in Room 1 which is an older style room with only a double bed. I would not have booked at Estelle Kramer had I known I would have been given an unrenovated room. Even the towel rail was missing from the bathroom

We checked in and in the room allocated to us was a broken table and on notifying the staff, we were instantly moved to another room which was bigger and even more beautifully set with no extra charge. Staff are very friendly and value their customers with excellent customer service. We stayed for two nights. Keep up the good work.
