Wonderful staff! We actually had a booking to stay the previous night, however had a family emergency that kept us in Melbourne 1 extra day. I contacted the motel & spoke to The manager Chris. She was so lovely & helpful, changed our arrival date so we weren’t out of pocket. The place was clean and foxtel in the room was a plus to occupy kids. Nice Walking distance to the fauna wildlife park & plenty of sheep nearby to take some snaps.

Chris went out of her way to stay up for us when we contacted her saying we had been delayed and would not be arriving til around 9pm. She upgraded our room when we arrived; and made us feel welcome by her friendly hospitality and providing us with a hearty breakfast to send us on our way. A wonderful person made our experience very memeorable! Thank you Chris

We booked online as the photo of motel & description sounded ok. On arriving was shown the room which cost $122.32 via booking site. Shower was dirty, spiders on floor near toilet and bed from the 1950’s Returned key to key box and left the property. Wish that I could cancel credit card payment.
