Easy walking access to the river walk, shopping, restaurants. The motel is older so not to expect modern decor, but clean large, comfortable room. Comfortable bed. Smallish bathroom, but you don't live in a bathroom. A good choice for accommodation in a beautiful town.

I thought it was the best stay I have had in years. Felt like home. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable, super convenient. Comfortable bed. Then there was the shower, no ‘water saver’, can’t get wet here. It was just the best. Only problem I had was that I had to leave the next day. I’ll be baaack!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
The room is very dated as are the facilities. Austar channels are very limited, old system means finding something to watch is difficult. The enertainment from the pub accross the road was so loud that ear plugs were needed to sleep, luckily I had some. I paid $25.13 more than my mates did for the night. I thought I was supposed pay the same or better when using booking sites. I have stayed here previously but won't be again.
