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.

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.
