Worst hotel property in Australia. Booked 7 rooms, we left in 5 mins after seeing the condition of the rooms and had to book somewhere else at a great cost. Semen stains on a couch; stench in rooms was unbearable; filthy in other rooms, mostly naked man with door open as we walked past. Dubios other clientele on property and woman half naked running between rooms. Do not book here!

Wish we had stayed there more nights! An extremely cheap motel to stay in - very popular and many were staying there. It felt safe and clean. The bathroom probably needs updating with some calcification on the edges but it was well maintained and clean overall. Free wifi was a blessing as the local cellular network was patchy for us. Great for families - we had one queen bed and two single beds. Met the owner or manager - she was very personable and extremely nice, you could tell she was proud of the place. We stayed on a Saturday so couldn’t experience their food - wish it had operated all 7 days! Thank you.
