Parking can be problematic when there is no designated spot particularly for older travellers. We had a downstairs unit but after returning from dinner was not able to park outside our unit on either night.

The room itself was good. The shower recess could use a good clean. The TV did not get free to air TV and when we asked for it to be fixed someone came but did not fix it and we weren't given an option to change rooms. However, if the shower recess had been cleaner the room would have been good value at $109 for the night.

Very clean, beds comfy, good hot shower, plenty space in room for luggage etc. Excellent provision of amenities in the room, all very thoughtfully provided. Despite being by the main road into town, it was actually very quiet.

The room was clean and the fridge worked properly but there was a lingering aroma in the room. The block out curtains which didn’t block out a lot because the backing was gone in lots of places had black mould all over the bottom third. There was a cockroach bait in the corner of the room and the wall between the shower and toilet had patches where there was no paint as the shower was leaking. Would definitely NOT stay there again.

A last minute stay ( booked less than an hour before arrival), due to bad weather on our road trip home to QLD. Great value, quiet but central location, a few minutes from shops & restaurants. Clean, neat, tidy. Electric blankets and kitchen items were a handy bonus. A few steps up to our room but no issue for us.

2nd time staying at this motel. Room is starting to show a bit of wear and tear. Probably needs a bit of revamp in the next year or 2. Priced very well though so I suppose you pay for what you get. Next room was blasting their TV all night long till 4am, so sleep wasn't so great.

Late check-in was convenient but upon arrival discovered that there was absolutely no power at all of which I was not informed. I understand that things like this can happen but being unable to take a shower, have a hot drink or even read or watch tv after a long day driving from Sydney was an inconvenience for me. The motel offered no apology at all. I have tried to get in contact with them regarding this matter but it seems they are not interested in any communication at all.In good faith I do believe that some kind of compensation would be honourable. Wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone and if I could give it no stars I would. Terrible customer service and and the poorest communication I have ever come across.
