I liked that we could bring our dog. I did not like the extremely small room with no eye level windows. It appears it was one room divided again as it had the same number as next door room.
The bed was a double bed not very roomy or firm.
The grassed area out the back was fenced off and contained chickens. Our dog was fine, but Chickens on the other side of the room wall may not work for some dogs.

A lovely spot to stay, easily accessed on the way into town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and well presented with a small fridge, microwave and kettle available. Modern tvs and recently updated bathrooms. Delicious convenient breakfast options. Air con units are a little older and noiser if you're a light sleeper.

We were given room 10. Smallest motel room we have ever stayed in. The bathroom was tiny and the floor needed a good scrub. If large size people stayed in this room they would have trouble negotiating the bathroom.
For the cost of $159 for the night, we were shocked at what it was.
