From check in to check out this stay was easy and relaxed. Management are easy going yet professional. Cleaning staff are friendly and do a really good job. This is an older style motel but it is clean, well presented, has a massive smart tv in the room and has all the amenities you need for a short stay. A few minutes out of town but still has major supermarkets, take aways, restaurants, churches all around. Some things may need to be upgraded in the rooms like bathroom curtains and sometimes the doors are hard to open/close, however I have enjoyed my stay every time and couldn't ask for more especially considering the reasonable price. Will stay again and again thank you.

Very comfortable motel, owners happy to work with guests to provide rooms where possible at the rear of the property that facilitate car trailer parking. Third time at this motel and will continue to book there in the future as each time it has been a good stay.

Very welcoming at reception, be aware there is a height limit at entrance but there is a back entrance if required. Unit was comfortable, but looked a little tired, eg door sticking and obviously was being kicked to open it. Very clean, queen bed super comfortable. Plenty of power points for device charging. Would happily stay again and recommend for a short stay.

Property was great for my purposes and the bed (importantly) was excellent. The only down side was the brick wall between rooms did not absorb the TV next door which was left on all night. Made for a disruptive sleep

Do some crazy traffic jams in Melbourne we arrived after 9:00 PM, which was their office closing time. Thankfully, the instructions for finding the room and the key had been clearly explained to us over the phone, which we really appreciated. It was a cold, miserable night—but walking into the room felt like such a warm welcome. The owners had thoughtfully turned the heaters on ahead of our arrival, and that simple gesture made all the difference. It was a lovely way to start our stay.
