Disliked: Amenities
The property doesn’t look like it has had any remodeling one since it was built and it wasn’t built yesterday. Very ordinary, and it is situated between the highway and the railway line. the highway is busy at night with trucks. the cook was off sick and the owner (breakfast cook) was on holidays. Understandably is was cheap, and booked up for 3 weeks. Not what i would call the cleanest establishment either. The staff were friendly.

Needed a "pet-friendly" place to stop over on our trip back from Melbourne to Adelaide. While the motel is a little dated, the room was clean and well-equipped with generous supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc Service at both check in and check out were efficient and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good Malaysian Restaurant in the town (Camca Garpu). Overall a pleasant, refreshing way to break the journey.
