The room was tiny, outdated, with leaking taps and beds from the 70’s. Paint peeling off the shower floor, which was in desperate need of repair. The railing on the smokers deck is wobbly and unsafe. The manager kept trying to come into the room with tradesmen, while the baby was sleeping, and my daughter getting dressed. His dog roamed freely in and out of the room. A totally unpleasant experience over all. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Bob, Coffs Harbour.

Large room, seperate shower and toilet which was good. The beds were fine, typical motel style beds. Room was clean and we had a room at the back of the motel so there was no roadside noise. I would stay here again if I was passing through. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 31, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Is ok for a stop over.

It was a budget room, but for an overnight stay on a long driving trip very suitable. ##### Len ### 6/10 Okay #### Sam, Rockhampton Oct 6, 2016 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Comfortable Stopover This is a comfortable stopover for anyone needing an overnight rest. The owners were courteous, friendly and helpful as they welcomed me to their motel. Bearing in mind that it is rated 3 stars, don't expect luxuries. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was hot! There were the basic facilities you would expect in any motel room - kettle, fridge, iron, toaster, TV - as well as free WiFi. The biggest drawback is that it is right on the highway and quite noisy. ##### Sam ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas, Hervey Bay Sep 6, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### All good ...
