One night stay on the road to QLD.

Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

Convenient overnight stop.

A good motel for an overnight stop. A short drive off the highway. Room was comfortable although a little dated. Staff welcoming. Close to RSL and a few small eateries.

We checked in on an extremly hot afternoon. Althugh the front door was open behind a screen door, the airconditioner was not running on our arrival. It took about 40 minutes for the air conditioner to cool down the room after we turned it on.

The room was clean. The air-conditioner was great. The wi-fi was a great benefit but the bed was not good . My husband and I spent the night rolling into one another, which would have been fine had it been winter, but not good in summer .

Clean, modern, well appointed small room

While we had a modern, clean, well maintained and appointed room, it was not the size of a Deluxe Queen Room that we had booked and as appeared in the pictures: we had a small room only the width of the bed and bedside tables - no couch - and a small fold-up table with 2 chairs instead of a free standing table. No room for 2 suitcases - we left one in the car. Apart from that, it was a nice room with efficient airconditioning

Convenient, clean, no frills.

Clean and convenient. Absolutely no friendliness, at check in they couldn’t be rid of us fast enough and no access to speak or find anyone again. I was confused about people’s comments about breakfast when there was no food outside the minibar available at this premise. Very good eatery next door.

Clean and tidy room with all amenities provided. Bathroom quite small but with lovely fluffy towels. Location is very quiet and conveniently close to the RSL club, the IGA, pizza and bottle shops. The door locks were a bit touchy, screen door locked ok but the glass sliding door could not be locked and the security door chain was broken. Housekeeping staff very friendly and helpful.
