This is a family run property located conveniently on the highway. Our room was reasonably clean (a few ants but we managed to get rid of them) but very comfortable. Our room was upgraded which was lovely however there was a gathering of people right outside our window and they were talking quite loudly as they were doing maintenance work on their cars. We could also hear a lot of walking around upstairs above our room (ceilings and walls are paper thin). Check in and check out wasn’t a huge problem - just when I went to check in I expected to be able to walk straight in but the door was locked. I rang the bell three times but still no answer. Then I rang the number provided on the door and finally I was attended to. All up though, nice people and nice place for an overnight stop but be careful when turning back out onto the highway as it’s not easy to see and cars seem to appear out of nowhere over the bridge.

I stayed in the basic double room that is located at the front of the motel. The whole place looks very rundown, the driveway bitumen is potholed and in disrepair. The room was clean but the shower curtain had mould on the bottom and the bathroom is probably original from the 1940s. Its a short drive to the city area. It was fine for my one night passing-through stay, but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Not all rooms are Fabulous and 8.6, but still ok

Not all rooms are styled the same as pictured. Our queen room (7) was built with thin timber walls adjacent to another room (8) where the sounds from the showers, speech and snoring was evident and interrupted our stay. Other guests smoking and talking outside their room at our door was not ideal.
Hotels.com's rating of fabulous and 8.6 is misleading for our queen room and is not consistent with my experience. Whilst the friendly and helpful manager did all he could for our check in and stay, this older section / room is not as portrayed with the rating.
The small room was clean but needed air. The exhaust fan did not work in the bathroom, with a small shower with a nylon curtain.
Overall this older building was clean neat and tidy with a comfy bed.
The friendly manager was great and helpful with great recommendations for dinner.
I appreciate his hard work and care.

This would have to be the worst motel ive ever stayed it. As soon as i walked in it immediately stunk of some unknown fowl odor. I even left the door and window open but this couldnt get the stench out. The security slide latch looked like it had been kicked off more times than it should have. The window fly screen had been broken into and was not repaired. The bathroom exaughst fan sisnt work and was covered in dust and what can only be described as some sort of spider web, the grout was falling out everywhere. Not to mention the electrical hazards everywhere. The two bed side lights didnt work and crackled when i turned the power point off and on. The room was loaded with multiple power boards that seemed to be over kill. Once you got over the fear of being the next home invasion victim and accustomed to the wretched smell the beds would most certainly destroy normal back. Id suggest sleeping on the bus shelter seat rather than these beds and you are probably safer to be honest.

Compact but comfortable.

The room was shared by myself, my husband and eldest son. It was compact, but perfectly satisfactory for one night. The room was spotless and in excellent condition. The host was quite friendly. The only criticism we could really make was the limited number and placing of parking spaces. We had to park with the tail of the car poking out onto their driveway. The beds were reasonably comfortable. The bathroom was a good size. On the whole it was good value for the price. It's located a little out of town (near a couple of other motels), but we saw this as an advantage as the area was quiet.
