Very friendly welcome from Mark and Rhonda during our three night stay. Thank you for the complementary washing machine and dryer! Very comfortable accommodation with lovely decor and everything a traveller needed. Great location! Walking distance to Coles supermarket and great take away food and restaurants. A great little cafe is virtually next door! We were so comfortable in this accommodation that we rebooked on our return trip home. Thank you for a lovely stay in Laurieton.

Have stayed here before. Unfortunately this time we had the room next to the washer and dryer which was in constant use till 10.15 pm. Not what you want after a very long drive. Otherwise was a comfortable stay.

Overall it was a good stay. Very friendly desk service and a comfortable bed for the night. Had an issue with the parking as I was boxed in by two other cars - I think they need to seriously consider remarking the carpark as I can see this being a regular problem.

This is a small family run motel. The rooms are average size but very clean and comfortable. They supply free washers and dryers and washing powder for their guests. Also windscreen washing facilities. All very thoughtful. Back your vehicle right up to your room door. I was greeted on my arrival and departure by the owner.

It’s near the road so there’s a bit of traffic noise. Also one of the guests had a car alarm that kept going off, loudly and lengthily, every few minutes (no fault of the motel). The tv remote was gross (we cleaned it with hand sanitizer). Otherwise pretty good, standard motel facilities. The reception was excellent. Checking out was easy.

We booked online, through a booking agent, I received an email from Mark immediately, welcoming us to Mariners, encouraging us to contact him with questions if I needed to. He then called on the day of our check in for our ETA & if there was anything we needed. The room was immaculate & extremely comfortable. Mark has mastered the long lost art of personable service. Thank you very much :-)
