At the time of booking roadworks were being undertaken on the road in front of the motel. This was beyond the managers control, but very noisey. Unit was dated, but clean. Sheets and towels crisp white and clean.

Mac welcomed me....motel a lot of potential but taps leaked all the time, no plug for the sink, oven did not work, salt and pepper shakers needed cleaning and contents contaminated. I understand he is fixing things up.....good luck but he needs to get onto the water issues and handles on taps that are out of date and cannot be handled by arthritis hands.

Unit 5 was a roomy two bedroom unit. loads of space. Kitchen was great with everything needed, nice big fridge freezer. It was ok for accom required for trades people away working - just the main road noise was a bummer for light sleepers.

The carpet in this unit was filthy. The wash basin was so small it was difficult to brush my teeth. The Wifi was not working and despite the best efforts of staff it never did work. Those efforts totally disrupted my evening. Still, no Wifi. There was an attempt to blame my device but this was nonsense. Apparently there was a trick to make the toilet work of which I was unaware. The one and only reason I could recommend this motel is the price.

No milk provided. No plug in the bathroom basin so could not fill it with warm water. Could not operate the microwave oven. Television remote control did not operate very well. Maybe needs new batteries. Kitchen utensils need a sharp knife added. Kitchen appliances old and rusty. Fire and emergency sign on the wall beside where there used to be a landline telephone attached saying to dial 111 in an emergency. Not everyone has a cellphone. The place needs a massive renovation as it is old and tired.

An older Motel though rather tired looking seems to have had some recent interior maintenance and tidy up. Basic lower end appliances, incl tv, furniture and bar heater. Rowdy flooring in Kitchen/lounge area. Unit had wifi issues with some problems also with TV reception. Clean and very well serviced with friendly attendance by local manager. Seemed a reasonably convenient budget type facility suited to short term stay.

We booked a studio at this motel and the price and photos online looked pretty good. But when we opened the door we realised we shouldn't have booked it! It was so extremely small (we've booked other studios before and never this small!). The aged carpet on the floor was badly stained. The bathroom was tiny. The bed and bath linen was clean but the rest of the room was very shoddy. The wifi was soooo slow it was unusable. When we drove out we realised that there was only one studio on the whole property. The owner should turn Room 13 into a storeroom. It shouldn't be a room you get charged $110 for. The rest of the rooms on the property looked okay but were twice the price.
