The Thunderbird was everything we expected from a country motel and more. Spacious comfortable room with all the expected amenities. The staff had a welcoming country attitude and were more than happy to have a chat. I seriously recommend the Thunderbird Motel.

We had been travelling & stayed at various Motels in 3 different states. This was by far the nicest Motel, with the best layout, kitchenette with extra tap & sink. Bigger fridge, with chocolates & chips, & alcohol available to purchase. We take lots of photos on our holidays, so need to load them each day, & the bench space was more than adequate.
