My son had his regional basketball tournament at the Pettigrew Stadium just down the road which was awesome to be so close. This property was great for the price and we had dinner next door which was lovely pub grub -large meals and cheap cocktails!! Unfortunately there was a very noisey group who woke us all up pretty early in the morning!

This motel was very quiet and peaceful – that's a big deal for me. It's within short walking distance of the main shopping area in Taradale, which has many bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff of the motel were very friendly and they gave us a free upgrade to a two-roomed unit – that was VERY kind – it blew us away.
