We found this motel to be exceptionally clean with all the little extra's to make your stay comfortable, TV was a good size and aircon up to date and quiet. Extra blanket and pillows were provided if needed. We did not experience any traffic noise although it was on the highway. We found the owners to be friendly and helpful.... More

On our road trip from Sydney via Melbourne to Adelaide this was actually the most expensive nightly rate I found. However, it was by far not the nicest place of all. In general there was nothing wrong with it, the rooms were clean, spacious, the TV was big and had many channels. I also like the huge fridge as we... More

Clean and comfortable units, free parking, WiFi at a reasonable cost, and convenient location on the main road through town, breakfast can be supplied, and as with any accommodation, especially during the busy summer season, the owners, understandably, would appreciate a phone call if your plans change, we would be happy stay again.

A last minute change of plan mean't an infant had to be brought along for our trip. We were made to feel we did something terribly wrong when we arrived not to mention they wanted to charge for an 8month infant. The owners were rude and obnoxious! We were attacked immediately for apparent deception rather than being asking politely. I... More

When all bookings are made a total number of guests (including children and babies) are requested and confirmed. This enables the motel to accommodate the guests in the most suitable room. This is done for the comfort of both the incoming guest and existing guests. Maximum room occupancies apply to all rooms due to configuration and guest comfort. Children and... More

Spotless, cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. Great value overnight room, large lcd tv with heaps of channels,nice comfy bed, quiet split system heater was appreciated on this cold winters day. Had a great stay, booked another night. Looks like an older style motel - but don't judge a book by its cover - it has definitely had plenty... More

We were travelling with a young family. The hotel advised that the last time for check-in was 9pm, but as we had a child feeling restless and ill, we thought we'd better stop off. This delayed us until after 9.30pm. We rang the hotel at 8pm to ask what we could do. They said they wouldn't wait for us or... More

Whilst we empathise with your situation, you were well aware of our closure policy (strictly no after hours check-ins) when you booked through a third party booking site. We did assist with supplying numerous phone numbers for other motels that may have been able to accommodate your late arrival. We ask that you appreciate, that as owner/operators, we are open...

Standard looking motel from the outside but the rooms themselves are quite pleasant; quite a bit more style in the decor than one usually gets in a highway motel. Nice and clean and good size rooms. However like most motels I have stayed at in this area, the mattress is only just okay. This motel seems to have put quite... More

value for money, easy walking distance to RSL for meals and entertainment or visiting friends in hospital. Ideal base if touring area. Comfortable clean room (11) with queen bed for one person or couple. Only complaint - terrible tasting coffee in sache, will let owners know on my next stay. Highly recommend AAA+++
