Meals and presentation were excellent compliments to the chef, tried different meals each night of our stay 5star. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful as we were first time guests rapt that the staff remembered our drink preferences. Just learning our way around and had to come home. Would definitely recommend staying here again.

Good budget place to stay with friendly staff. If you want a place to stay overnight, it has what you need. My personal opinion, 9.2/10 star rating is too high for this motel. It is a basic, normal budget motel. When I left my room at 7:15 am on Sunday morning, a random guy in the carpark saw me coming out the room and asked for the code of the room which I just left. He said he is a cleaner for the motel. I said that he should get the code from the boss and he replied that they are not here now. I didn't give it to him but he kept asking for it. He also said to me that he came our of the pub - trying to convince me that he is a cleaner but he didn't have any cleaning equipment nor trolley to collect things. It looked very suspicious. To the owner of the business If he was the real cleaner, it is a very unprofessional thing to do and I felt very intimidated. You should talk to your cleaner stop asking for the code to the customer. If he was a random guy trying to get into the room, you should check about this guy. He could do some damage to your property or to your business.
