The rooms dreary, dull very uninviting. Bedside light base were rusty, microwave had rust marks over it, bathroom door was warped and nits flaking off. Bedspread had a stain in the centre of it. AVOID booking this motel. When I told the owner she looked and was amazed I had complained .

The lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Whilst the property is old, our room was very clean and our bed was comfortable. The RSL is a few doors down the road and we had an excellent meal there. There is also a pizza place next door. On site parking was an available. It was a perfect and convenient stop for us on our way to Sydney.

Disappointing Lack of Care

The room had some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The hairdryer's steel nozzle was rusted and unusable, and there were other rusty items in the room as well. It was disappointing to see this lack of attention to guest safety, especially when every item in the mini-bar had a carefully placed price tag. I was unable to report these issues as the reception was closed during my morning checkout.

The property presents as an older building but the King bed room we had was very good. Everything we could need was provided. A small mini bar selection but reasonably priced. The room was very clean and comfortable with a small lounge, table with 2 chairs, coffee/ plunger and tea, microwave etc. Special mention for the lovely thick towels that were of a much more suitable size compared to the usual small offerings. The water pressure in the shower was also phenomenal. Checking in was a breeze and staff are friendly. Very short walk for IGA, Bakery,Pizza/burger/breakfast cafe...very good pancakes. The RSL club is also a very short walk. Would definitely go back when in the area again.
