We got a room here at the last minute, the host was lovely to deal with and very helpful. Our room was older but very comfortable and spotlessly clean. There was a couple of little extras that I haven’t seen in other motels, like magazines to read, nice toiletries that made this motel an awesome stay. Most definitely will come back.

Nothing unique. The people were lovely and it was clean. It was in a 'tired' condition. I'm a light sleeper and didn't realise the noise that was generated by the neighbours and traffic.

A great motel, very friendly staff, clean and tidy. Handy to town and Hospital, easy parking. It was a bonus being able to have my wee Cavoodle to stay. Highly recommended

A very average motel... Located on state highway one... The room is very dated and tired, however the Bed was comfortable. The ironing board was interesting (see photo) Yes there is road noise and lots of it... I was kept away to late and then woken up to truck changing gear down the hill. Parking was at a premiums and tight....

A good place to put your head down with comfortable beds and a little kitchen area. The shower was good. The parking was very good for our needs being two vehicles and a trailer plenty of room for security and fencing. The outside Area is all concrete so don’t expect a garden the rooms were very good. A little noise from the main road at night.
