Staff was very helpful and courteous. Restaurant offered a varied menu at reasonable prices. The property is a bit tired but is simply a reflection of its age.

I had to wait in the hot sun for reception to be available to give me a key to my room.Im a 72 yr old lady with mobility disabilities & had to climb into a spar bath to access the shower.The outside stairs to the room didn't have any rails which made it very hard for me to get up to the room .I won't be staying there ever again

As an elderly or a person with arm injuries when booking a room there should be a choice of shower as I had one with a spa bath and could not get in or out. Found out after we checked out that we had an option.

For the prices being charged I think King size beds should be the standard for hotels/motels. We ate at the restaurant and while the service was great the vegies were undercooked and the steak was too tough to eat. The breakfast was great though. However, the food there cost us more than the room.The coffee from the coffee machine "sucked" and we were charged as if it was a bespoke coffee from a proper expensive coffee machine at a trendy cafe. Come on guys the coffee from that terrible machine should be free. As visitors and not knowing the local restaurants/clubs we were not advised that there was a fantastic club (the Lion) only 5-10 mins drive away or about any of the restaurants within the area. This information should be in the motel room itself.

Property was noisy although next to freeway which I accept. However encouraging guests to smoke outside your door and shout could be done differently.

Cleaning staff were lovely but I didn’t like the remote area the motel was located. I made the mistake of booking the motel without a vehicle which meant I relied on Uber for transport. More than adequate units in the motel but would not recommend for families.

I’m not sure why the reviews of this facility were so good. The positives- clean, comfortable rooms, convenient to the Motorway. Negatives- too close to the Motorway (noisy), could not book the restaurant which is actually a cafe with a veranda. Had to argue with the manager over room allocation, he was not pleasant. I’m hoping there are better options in the area next time

Room was comfortable and clean. Reception was closed on arrival on Sunday afternoon so had to contact them on mobile. Gentleman who answered wasn’t very welcoming nor polite. Went to order dinner on Monday night and was very rudely told by the same gentleman that the kitchen was closed even though it was still within the advertised open hours. We won’t be staying with them again.
