Lovely spot, conveniently located and although I didn’t use them they have a good bbq area and pool area. Room was tidy and comfortable. Nice hot shower with good pressure (my love :)) Staff interactions were pleasant and helpful.

A great peaceful place to stay in the region away from the bigger busy towns. Excellent fully equipped BBQ area beside a refreshing swimming pool. Great cafe/restaurant next door. River and fantastic beach close by. Wish I stayed longer.

Tidy, well-equipped motel room with outdoor grilling/dining available. We ate next door at terrific cafe with excellent view of river and mountain. Sunset was amazing. The motel was across from the river which was beautiful itself but also offered a walking track out to the ocean. Highly recommend that as well. Great place for great price.

Our family of four stayed here on our way up to QLD. The room was clean and provided all the usual comforts but it was a tight squeeze with a queen bed plus two singles. The beds were comfy, the bathroom had been recently renovated, there was a new fridge with separate freezer and the WiFi was fast - even with four of us on our devices simultaneously. There was a club within easy walking distance for dinner.

Lovely room, quiet and away from the road which wasnt a busy road anyway. It is across from lovely lake and entrance where the sunset was breathtaking (wear mosquito repellent). Very clean and neat with a seperate kitchen sink with basic kitchen items provided. Great attention to detail. Only downside, Bathroom sink was very small and it had a shower curtain. Overall, great place to stay, would definitely stay again. Thanks Peggy

I have been to this place a few years ago. I liked it then but since that time there has been a change of ownership/management. The rooms have been upgraded for the better. As were the bathroom's which was a nice change. I love this area right on the rivers edge with nice walking paths everywhere and caffes are withing walking distance as well as a few little shops. If you want a bit more of an upbeat vibe its only 5 min drive to Laurieton where the town has a great shopping center, clubs, pub and a good selection of nice restaurants.

The motel is clean, spacious and is a great location across the lake. I’m downvoting this as I’ve had a bad experience during my overnight stay. Checked into the hotel at 3am from a long drive and finding out there was no towels in the room which meant I couldn’t have a shower, I messaged them at 3am(ish) to let them to send towels in the morning, the towels were delivered and being told to check out ASAP and I should have gotten an additional night? I’m not sure how they thought that 2 guests could freshen up and pack when the towels were delivered at 10am then be expected to leave as soon as possible seriously be possible and blaming the customer for this? This wouldn’t have happened if there was towels in the rooms in the first place.

We were very happy here for a stopover on our trip to Queensland. The check in was all remote so we just showed up and went straight to our room. Room was clean and large and while it was a little dated, the bathrooms had been renovated. Certainly very comfortable for a day. Easy walking distance to the local RSL club for dinner. Staff were almost invisible and weren’t able to be contacted on phone. But there were no issues.
