Decent roadside motel of former glory

While a bit old and run down, it served the purpose. The aircon worked well, it had been cleaned to a good standard, and the beds were very comfortable. Added bonus when travelling with a 7 year old, the pool was very nice!

There's not to much to like about this property, the staff seem very friendly, but that's about all . The room smelt very musty was not very pleasant, we brought a air freshener for the room. The restaurant was closed so no breakfast for the time we were there, no room service & no internal phone, peak holiday season restaurant should have been opened. Pet friendly motel so we had barking dog's from time to time. Carpet in room looking tired, balcony door handle very loose not game enough to use in case it fell off. front screen door have to slam to close, cannot access table chair unless you move single bed, no exhaust fan in bathroom. Very out dated it was not worth $148 a night, we have stayed at better places for less.

Super friendly owners and staff, very informative. Check in and out was very easy and quick. Ordered dinner from their restaurant and they were happy to bring it to the room which is great service in a motor inn. Room was really clean, everything worked and in good condition no complaints at all.

Staff friendly, unfortunately looks as if the apartment hasn’t been renovated from the mid- ninety’s, needs power points besides the bed, had to pull out bed because that’s where there was a power point. Guess you get what you pay for.
