I never met any staff as I checked in after they closed 2 pm on Saturday . They did make timely contact and I grabbed my key from night safe .Rather large complex so walked around looking for room .Bit tired after long day on the road so that was a lil off. A map was mentioned but - would have been handy - maybe there is one somewhere Clean tidy comfortable - maybe a little old dated but o probs . works happening in footpath - barriers etc .

Loved the relaxed, nothing is a problem attitude of management. Complimentary laundry, swimming pool and breakfast was a bonus. Plenty of tea and coffee etc. Really hot showers a good friendly vibe. Only negative was dripping sink taps and kids room smelled of stale cigarettes. This is not to hotels fault, just the arrogance of past guests not following the rules or respecting others. Although older style motel, it had everything we neaded. We will happily return.

I am surprised that you are surprised that it was 'just a motel' That is exactly who we say we are and that is what all our websites describe us as. Our affordable price also supports us being a country motel ? Happy travels

the whole place was dirty. The room was dusty and had a huge spider living on the ceiling. I had to clean the room before my children could go in. The staff never attended to the room for the whole stay, no new towels and the rubbish piled up.
