I'm a return customer. I stayed here last year and was so impressed I didn't hesitate to come back this year. I'll certainly return. The people who run the place are genuinely lovely people. I'm grateful to be staying somewhere like this.

Blackout blinds and curtains plus a very comfy bed meant I slept very well. Coffee maker with pods was unexpected bonus. Lovely bathroom was ultra clean with big towels. Rooms 1-6 have carport width roof behind them, so I could unload my car out of the rain. At the end of town but eating places just 3mins drive away, and staff advised where was good. Overall, excellent value for money.

Overall spent minimal time at the hotel as was just staying overnight.
We had travelled from adelaide and arrived at 9.30pm unaware that the front office had closed at 9pm.
Front office staff lived upstairs and noticed we had arrived. Instead of checking us in politely - gave us attitude for being late saying we should have called and thought we were not showing.

Hi Tony,
We are sorry to hear you felt that way at check-in.
However, It is unfair to rate us poor for something that is not our fault. This is not a 24x7 open reception motel and is typically the case with most of the regional motels throughout the country. It is important to read your itinerary that lists reception hours & contact details, especially when traveling late. You failed to arrive during open hours & didn't call either.
At check-in, you were merely advised it is a common practice to call prior when running late so a late check-in can be organised.
