There was large gap below our door to the outside where we needed to shove a pillow to feel safe from the critters of Australia. We had no where else to stay as we were exhausted from driving. Would absolutely not recommend unless desperate, as we were.

It was simple & convenient & close for our overstay needs , the owners were helpful and it was quiet and felt safe. Still would be good to have better locks on the door . I suggest a dead lock or chain lock as only had the door knob style handles.

Happy stay

Happy with the accommodation. Great location. Easy walk to the Crown Hotel for dinner. Easy parking in front of the room. Stayed there 2 years ago and I can see the renovations done. Great job. Love how there are signs saying no smoking in side the room or outside the seat area.👍 Value for money.

Well below expectations

No reception - delays checking in because no one present. Manager expressed she was there to help but was openly hostile when approached for shampoo & conditioner. Never responded to an enquiry about whether there was an iron available (we were in town for a funeral) probably the most run-down place I’ve ever stayed. Expedia should be ashamed they list their properties
