Clean and tidy room with all amenities provided. Bathroom quite small but with lovely fluffy towels. Location is very quiet and conveniently close to the RSL club, the IGA, pizza and bottle shops. The door locks were a bit touchy, screen door locked ok but the glass sliding door could not be locked and the security door chain was broken. Housekeeping staff very friendly and helpful.

Adequate for 1 nights accommodation - small room and bathroom, beds were quite hard but the shower was great. pizza/takeaway shop next door handy for late arrival and IGA across the road was super helpful and open early on a Sunday morning. Extremely small town with nowhere to get coffee Sunday morning or have breakfast out so the IGA was good.

Great location. Easy walking to many convenience stores and fast food outlets. Walls are a bit thin and a sliding door was pretty ordinary, but despite this would definitely stay at this location again!

While the property is not new, a successful effort has been made to maintain its condition. The rooms are clean and about as comfortable as you can get in a motel. There is pretty much everything you need except a dinner plate and eating irons. The fish n chip shop nearby is great and the RSL very close serves a good chinese meal. Will stay there again.

Considerably small room and even smaller bathroom. The bathroom had a constant foul smell and the door to the bathroom kept coming off when sliding to close. Overall a good property but could use some TLC from the management to enhance the guest experience.

The motel is conveniently located and close to the Pacific Highway. An old style motel that's clean and affordable with all the facilities you could want.

Old motel, needs a lot of work especially on the plumbing so that you don’t hear the water pressure coming through the pipes when someone in the next room is showing. Staff were nice and room was clean

Fast and efficient service provided. Clean establishment which it would appear is going through some modernizations, e.g. bathrooms appear to have recently been updated and which is favourable. Located in a wonderful picturesque area. View from the rear of the room left a lot to be desired though, unkept, overgrown area.
