This motel was great ..Nice and quiet with a clean pool in a private area . The owner at the front dest was very friendly and informative - giving me clear instructions on how to open the gate and return the key when I left early in the morning. I felt safe in the motel as there is a big gate at the front, so only motel patrons can access the grounds . The motel is a 5 min walk to the local coach stop . I got a coach and train back to Sydney and it was a very scenic and enjoyable trip . I would stay at this motel again ..
