Great price option, liked having 2 double beds in dividable space. Bathroom was very small - but did the job
Quite a bit of road noise could be heard throughout the night given proximity to StateHighway1

Check in was easy. The room was very spacious and great value especially if you had three people travelling together. Coffee grounds provided for brewed coffee. Comfortable beds. Would definitely stay again.

Convenient location. Clean and tidy.

The customer service was wonderful. We found the unit very cold when we first arrived. It took a couple hours for it to heat up. Also the wifi was not very good at all.
Marilyn
Clean, helpful staff, value for money,
Kathi
Clean and tidy. Good value
Chanel
The shower had mold in it, place was not very clean. The owners tried to take money out of my account for a bond without confronting me first and then told us we had to leave when we didnt do anything wrong and there was no damage to the property at all. The staff were very rude and made us feel so unwelcome. We weren’t allowed to cook any food without the staff coming in and telling us off then kicking us out while we were sleeping and someone was getting changed while he walked in, there was no knock on the door just walked in.
Henry
Good host and service, however the room looks a bit dated and quite hot during summer
Jan
Ok stay.
Bed was nice and wasn’t too noisy. Unfortunately there was no hot water so no shower

Jennifer
motel situated in handy place for getting in and out of , good parking and fery friendly couple who own it. Have stayed there numerous times and keep going back
Don
We thought it fine for couples, but any extras would be embarrassing as shower and toilet combined. The space was so small you had to step out into the second bathroom (handbasin in there) to get dressed. Otherwise it had everything we needed.
Michelle
Suitable for purpose
Janine
Lovely people, very helpful
Verified traveler
The unit was very cramped and a strange layout. It was not a convenient design and was very small, even with only two people in it.
Verified traveler
Ok room. Toilet makes a weird thud noise when you flush it. No real kitchen. Only sink is in a bed room and tap to low to fill the kettle properly. Very loud road noise.

Convenient and food value
Great overnight stop on the way down south. Close to the main road but double glaWd so quiet enough. Had everything we needed and good value for money.
Main area had a queen bed , small table and small kitchenette. Second room has 1 single bead. Small bathroom off the second bathroom. Handbasin in the second bedroom as no room in the bathroom. Short walk to KFC McDs and a supermarket.
Friendly staff.

We arrived in the evening for our one night stay. The address has it on the main road but when you get there you see the motel sign but actually you have to drive down a side street to access the motel.
The 1 bedroom unit was a little dated but otherwise fine. The bathroom, shower and toilet is tiny with little room to hang towels etc and is accessed off the bedroom so if the person sleeping in the lounge queen bed needs to use the bathroom they have to go through the bedroom. The bathroom sink is in the bedroom.
The kitchen and lounge area had everything we needed.

Spacious clean unit with separate bedroom. Good kitchen amenities. Like most motels in this area it is situated beside highway 1 and was noisy with traffic all through the night. A 5 minute drive to Caroline Bay which is a lovely park.

Pleasant and enjoyable stay
Weekend stayover between business trips. Overall a pleasant stay and the room was reasonably comfortable with good facilities including a kitchenette. Very friendly and helpful management including pointing out local points of interest and places to eat. Eateries within walking distance are mainly takeaways necessitating a drive into the main part of town for dinning. Would definately stay here again.
