Good overnight stay, close to dining and entertainment. Rooms desperately need blackout curtains, especially the class panel doors. No sleeping when the sun is up.

Don’t be fooled by the photos and ratings. This is a classic old time roadside recently painted but un-renovated motel. Okay if you are economising and just want a bed. Bedding and room were clean but the beds were not comfortable unless you like them really hard. Great water pressure and lovely hot shower.

Was supposed to get details of how to access room, nothing, reception not manned , the phone No displayed would not connect. Local PO helped to contact owner otherwise we had no way to access room. Owner said message was sent , he asked me to try the phone No again, surprise surprise it suddenly worked.

Is only when you arrive that you find out there is no one in attendance. It's not difficult, but as you can't check your phone whilst driving, it's a bit daunting when you get there and there's no one around. When you get your phone out to ring the number, that's when you read their text and it's all sorted. Quiet, clean and accessible to the town.

It is what it it is …an older budget motel but with the best price on the list, We would have no hesitation to stay here again —I rated it “average” in everything because nothing was “poor”….the one person staffing the motel was couteous and approachable but not onsite for most of the stay.

I liked the fresh, attractive exterior and the main room. Toiletries like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel would have been beneficial addirions.A pleasant stay for me as I went for a walk through the wetlands nearby and to the lake boatramp. I shopped at IGA and was able to purchase an affordable USB at the newsagent. I like Karuah.
