The room was clean and tidy, perhaps some investment to spruce the room and balcony up which comes across a little dated.

We love staying at homestead because the people are pleasant and helpful. I enjoy being able to have breakfast and coffee in the cafe. The motel is in a convenient position - near the sports centre and sports club). The mattress was lumpy, soft and uncomfortable. Also, there was only one towel rail for up to 4 people but I will definitely stay there again.

We have stayed at plenty of awful budget motels while travelling, but this one was super clean and inviting, staff were incredibly responsive and helpful - when you're exhausted and a little panicked about finding somewhere to rest it means the world when you find a kind and accommodating place to stop!
