Concerned about the laundry. Linen (bedding and towels) a bit smelly, are they using enough detergent to wash items? Room a good size and comfortable, site/location handy and quiet. Cafe onsite a bonus.

The room smelt like smoke although, the screen door had a hole in it which felt very unsafe, the deadlock was broken so I had to push my table up to the door to feel safe. The towels had stains on them (looked like bleach) It just wasn’t a very nice stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Oh boy, where do I begin. Perhaps with pubic hairs on an obviously unclean bed-sheet? The need to ask for a Wi-fi network name & password since it's not shared on arrival? A stack of spoons and sugar sachets for some reason stashed behind the Venetian blinds (a clear indication the room had not been cleaned for years). Perchance, the musty, suffocating air inside that is a sure-fire way to legionnaire's disease [still coughing after 2 days]?. Take your pick. But here is the good news! I have traveled through AU extensively, and this is officially the 2nd worst motel I've ever been to. It is incomprehensible the guy's still in business. Seriously hazardous to health: book at your own risk if there is nothing else for miles around.

The room was comfortable. Extra pillows and blankets in the cupboard are helpfull. A room appointed for disabled persons is a good idea and disabled parking near the room is a blessing.

Booked a triple room but only got a single with one double bed. No other room available. Supplied us with a single bed that we had to jam in the corner. No offer to compensate for the mistake.

The whole thing was so bad. There was never anyone at reception. They didn’t check any details. I literally could have been anyone. The rooms were actually horrendous and we slept fully clothed because it was so gross! We didn’t even shower there because it was so bad!

I would not waste your money. - Linen Stained - pretty sure sheets were reused and unwashed - Only 2 towels supplied for the 4 guests - Dirty glasses and microwave - Disgustingly dirty sofa - Damaged light fitting with wires exposed - Broken kitchenette cupboards - Pillows are paper thin - owner/manager started his very loud Ute at 12am and left it running
