Only have one night while travelling. It was an ideal property for us. Even had a nice swim after driving all day. Room had everything we needed and parking was brilliant

Ok hotel
Not a bad hotel but restaurant was not as advertised. Meal ok but no drinks.
I was given a family room even though I was a solo traveler so I had plenty of room. The room was very clean but the bed was pretty uncomfortable. The reception staff member was not as friendly as he might have been.
First time I have stayed at this motel have been looking for a regular motel to stay & I have certainly found my regular motel very reasonably priced & so handy to medical requirements

Liked: Cleanliness
Room seemed clean and bed was comfortable. Quiet at night. Curtain rail was several inches shorter than the window, resulting in daylight streaming in very early. The food from the nearby restaurant (not sure what the association is) was dreadful - meat was as tough as boots.
Although a distance from town, the nearby cafe/restaurant suited my needs. I thought the restaurant attached to the property was closed and realised too late that I checked pre opening hours. Would stay again as it happened to be very close to the turnoff I needed to take on my way to Parkes.
Property very overpriced. Poor room cold, terrible bed NO hot water for showers in the morning.
Restaurant advertised as licensed not the case. Very uninviting not overly clean in fact we walked out
Would not recommend this property to anyone

A was staggered to find out the advertised restaurant had been closed for some time ! The bathroom, all the modern had a dispensing, toilet tissue module, the same, as you find in a council toilet sheet by sheet! And when you turn the shower on the entire floor, floods – I was not desperately impressed with this hotel at all

Receptionist was rude. Walls are paper thin. Had to listen to the people next door all night and doors slamming. Eventually we just got up at 4:30am and left.
