Perfect overnight stay on a road trip. Large rooms, outdoor area for morning cuppa. The cups/plates etc were limited and nit enough for two people - we had to fet some of our camping stuff out to use. Not a big deal, staff were friendly.

I believe property has just changed hands and will be in process of refurbishment. Having said that, property is lovely and clean, every thing was functioning and bed was comfy. Just decor was tired.

The wifi did not work again. I stayed here 6 weeks ago and the wifi was not working then as well. They definatly need to sort this out as the mobile signal in the rooms is very poor as well.

It is an older motel bit it was very clean and tidy. We were travelling and just needed somewhere to rest. It was on the hyway and easy to find. Road noise was not a problem. Lovely garden area out the back door. For the price it was great and served our needs.

Good spot for a rest on a long road trip. Instructions for room key were clear & concise. The room was clean & tidy, & the bathroom well maintained for an older property. The bed was comfy & aircon cold. The only problem was the shade-sail above unit's car park is not weatherproof & I got wet putting my luggage into my car. Otherwise a great spot for a good night's rest. Only a short drive into town for anything needed. Next trip I'll plan to arrive earlier to get a mango sorbet from the Big Mango just down the road.

I rarely write reviews and sometimes wonder about the validity of such reviews but I would caution travelers booking this property. It is a run down motel and dirty. There are signs on the counters warning guests about bugs. A can of Raid spray was left in the cupboard next to dirty cutlery. Several roaches were crawling on the walls. We left and had to drive an hour back to find a property to stay at as everything was booked. It was raining and it is North Queensland but these bugs were in the room. I told the manager and she said there shouldn’t be any bugs since she sprayed before we arrived. Not acceptable to ask guests to stay in a room like that. Then she wanted to know if we left the door open and the roaches flew into the room. We did not. I asked for some type of refund and she said Orbitz would have to initiate that. I contacted Orbitz and was given the run around that the property manager didn’t approve a refund and they couldn’t do anything. Not what I would expect from a property listed on this site. Very disappointing.
