Good motel at a very affordable price. The location was convenient, with Newcastle only a short drive away. Reception stayed open late, which made check‑in easy. The restaurant/club offered a good menu at reasonable prices, and there was plenty of parking. Overall, a comfortable and budget‑friendly stay.

Solid choice in the south Newcastle area. Rooms were older but well maintained - sort of classic Route 66 motel era, or in other words, charming. Good television channel selection, plenty of hot water, and biscuits (cookies) included with the tea and coffee items, along with a small carton of milk, which I just love. Easy parking right in front of the room. Next door to a 7-Eleven with a Subway and an Oporto, but I recommend a visit to the attached pub for a full-on Aussie experience.

Very clean and comfortable room for a bargain price. Bit of noise late at night from inconsiderate guests and hotel patrons but that can happen anywhere and was only brief.
