Nice clean comfortable room. Some minor repairs are required. Needs a new shower head, there was no chain for the lock on the door. Reception was friendly and helpful. Overall a good quality lower priced motel, that is in easy walking distance to shopping centre and main street.

I actually didn’t have a reservation and just popped in to check if a room was available. The friendliness of the owners and willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate me was out standing. The food was beautiful and staff approachable, capable and attentive. The room l had, had been recently updated and was clean and comfortable. Had everything that was needed for my stay. A creek walk is not far from motel that leads to town. A lovely walk after a beautiful meal. Would definitely stay there again..

I stayed overnight to participate in a community event in the morning. While the room was compact and comfortable which made for a good base to explore the city centre, the shower varied a little too much between hot and cold due to others using it. Was hoping to checkout a little later than 10am, but did not feel as welcome to as I did in previous visits This may have been due to the hotel being busy, Will definitely stay again due to the convenience.
