The staff were very friendly to deal with at all times. We were running behind on our road trip and they were very accommodating and understanding, arranging a later check-in for us. We really appreciated this.

Dated room but clean and decent size with small couch. Room also had toaster, kettle and microwave along with a couple of dishes and plates with cutlery. A good size fridge and big comfy bed and smart tv with netflix. Great shower head providing a decent amount of water too! 24hr IGA supermarket around corner along with 2 service stations next door, chemist and multiple food options including tavern with restaurant, pizza hut, noodles and cafe within 5 minute walk. Friendly staff and i dont believe you will get better value for your money and i think this will be my new go to stay when in town.

It was fine, everything worked well. The traffic noise didn’t intrude. It was simple accommodation, nothing flash, but it did the job well. I’d be happy to stay there again,

Staff member was excellent and was available for my check-in after the late flight into town. She couldn't have done more. The motel is very clean and tidy, but dated and a bit tired. You get what you pay for and this motel was more than adequate for my purposes. For an overnight stay on your way through - thoroughly recommend.
