This is an older establishment, but couldn’t fault the cleanliness and it was very quiet. Our room backed onto a small flowing creek with scrub turkeys appearing every now and then. Very quaint Easy access with undercover parking. Reception staff Casey, bright and extremely polite. Would definitely stay again.

A great place to stay for a couple of nights. Great location and service. Has a Bbq for visitors to use and will provide a basket with all the goods needed to cook with. Staff very friendly and for a small motel provided little extras not expected. Highly recommend

Stayed 6 nights

We did enjoy our 6 night stay and were very comfortable. Our unit was clean and fresh and serviced on the 3rd day. However when we first arrived, there was a wet facecloth left in the shower and a used soap. On day 5, I requested a service of our unit, so that we could get fresh towels. As instructed, if we wanted fresh towels, we left them on the floor. When we returned later that evening, our room hadn’t been serviced, the office was closed and our towels were still on the floor. As we were leaving early the next morning, we had to use our wet towels!!

We arrived a little early for check-in and were warmly welcomed and told our room was ready for us. The room is what you'd expect from a motel in a small town, but comfortable and very clean. Ticked all of the boxes with a comfy bed, decent bathroom, coffee machine, TV with streaming channels, and ample storage. The chairs and table in the room and outside on the patio were a welcome addition as were the little chocolates left on the bed. Would be very comfortable for an extended stay.

This is a small motel with a visible effort by the team to provide modern, basic accommodation. The room had a capsule coffee machine, a microwave, and a modern TV. The motel is conveniently located, being about 3 min by car to a small shopping mall with a Woolworths, some restaurants, a 4 min drive away from the Atherton Golf Course and the Atherton Hospital is one street away.
