Staff were nice. Room was clean. Pool was good. Had a kitchen area but would be better if it was fly proof and more shade. Would have preferred a cheaper option of twin bed room but they weren't available.

Was certainly an experience. The single bed for my son had stained sheets and when we asked for a replacement we were given pillow cases. The shower was mouldy and so was the shower curtain. Broken tiles around the room also. The room was near a beer garden for the pub and the owner owns both the pub and motel so from the moment we arrived till around 9pm there was a DJ set up and music blasting which after a long day travelling was a bit full on!! Not recommended if you are travelling with kids. Pool area is lovely and water pressure in shower is good.

Please accept our sincere apologies we do value your comments and act upon them . Of late being very humid days here with temps 35+ it is very difficult to control mould in rooms that are heavily used . Not to weave an excuse please understand our rooms are sanitized often and that includes change of shower curtains . I recall a request for a sheet however as our house cleaners were already home another staff member immediately at night went to get one ,it amazes me how you made do with pillowcases and not tell us . The DJ music played late afternoon till 9pm due to Christmas Holidays and to patrons requests. We were sorry we could not please all but it was stopped at 9pm as I personally instructed it to finish . We've recieved hundreds of positive comments and reviews this one certainly surprises me but rest assured we take all comments on board and act or check where needed. Thank-You ,we do hope we see you again.

Had to check in at the bottle-o next door, which was fine, except the guy was not interested in assisting me, instead was talking to his mum on the phone and when he hung up, said to me ‘thanks for interrupting, that was my mum I was talking to there’.. The rooms were fair size, however did not feel clean & had horrible re-usable pillows on the bed which we not clean. Wouldn’t stay again.

I agree with you that there is no room for rudeness .We have repremanded the staff in question . Pillows although cleaned daily were replaced with new. It would be a shame you would not stay again due to these issues as the majority of customers are more than happy with the rooms,facilities and sevice provided. We do hope we see you again and would welcome you call us direct to discuss further.

I was room 28-my car was parked at my room, which was good, but that made my car to be blocking the entrance to room 30 which is not good for R30 occupants to get in and out of their door and also big risk of the parked car getting scratched or damages due to lack of space Perhaps in the ads, mention should be made of the fact that there is no parking space at R29 onwards, so people can request a room from R27 down if they have a car. Longwinded I know, but just trying to point out the only thing that is not good about this place

Dear Guest We sincerely apologize that new housekeeping staff overlooked a teaspoon and pillowcase from your room .We have been full for the last 3 months and weve had to employ new staff and we'll address this. We find your comment just a box with a bed a little far pitched . Also is air conditioned ,fridge ,42 "Smart tv ,bar stools with vanity and bedside lights and tables , all the facilities and furnishings mostly all 3-4 star motels hold , all but the wineglass , teaspoon and pillowcase. Had this at any time been brought to our attention whilst you were here could have been remedeid instantly. Again our apologies for not meeting your expectations . we hope you'll visit again!

Not enough parking, had to park on the grass at the front of the complex, when we went to (what we thought was the office) we were told from a voice through a window to check in at the bottleshop. Beds were comfortable room very basic for the price we paid. Overall it was nice.

Thank-you for your review . We are sorry there was not enough room for you to park as we were booked out this night and some of the guests had 2 cars. The bottleshop provides convenience for those to check in as the rooms left are also on that side of the complex less walking and time to check in . There was a big sign on the front door informing all guests to check in at the bottleshop .Perhaps we need to make it bigger .We apologize you took offence to a voice in the window.to inform you.
