The room was nothing like the photos, there were large stains on the floor. It wasn’t the cleanest. On the photos the carpet was newer and there was an aircon on the wall which seems to have been placed there for the photos. No smoke alarm and the tv had no channels.

The property is beyond tired, I'd guess it is primarily used for social housing. Did not feel safe for 2 female travelers. We considered going to the warehouse to purchase new bedding. In the end we stayed with other friends. The man that checked us in was polite. Would not recommend under any circumstance.

Although clean, the motel was basic and dated with walls that could do with a coat of paint and repairs which had been done were obvious by the different shades of paint. The exterior area was weed ridden and overgrown and the driveway and paths holed. Very noisey with the trucks driving past in close proximity. The one staff member was pleasant although we had to ring him to get attention.Would not recommend nor use again.

Give it a miss!!!!

The unit (2) was filthy and in desperate need of a refurbishment.

The worst thing was the filthy bathroom. I think they missed it when cleaning the unit as the shower and toilet were both dirty. The toilet still had faeces under the seat. Shower had black mould, soap scum and spider webs. No hot water or water pressure so were unable to shower.

The sheets had stains, obviously not commercially cleaned. Curtains were dirty. Had been repainted at some stage but was just slapped on over imperfections, switches etc.

A power cord came from outside into the room from a hole in the wall and was plugged into a standard power socket. We found out this was the wifi.

Definitely not worth the money paid. Will not stay here again.

I appreciate that there are old photos in the advertisement for the motel and that it is in need of tlc. I found the owners to be friendly and helpful. IReception is clean and tidy, my unit with a little more cleaning would be great the bed was comfortable and apart from the noise of the traffic my stay was okay but it was ruined by a rowdy, rude male next door to ruin it.

The worst property I have stayed in 40 years of travel. Room not serviced, no smoke alarms. Holes in multiple walls covered in tape and painted over. Hot water flow next to useless. The whole room had been painted with little regard for masking over light switches, taps, benches. No breakfast offered and general amenity was from the 50’s without updating. Reception was abrupt. Avoid at all costs. I moved to another property during the paid-for period

This was a booking for 4 people....The manager was nice when we got there, explaned that they are doing up a unit so would be a bit of a mess outside( cool). We entered to find a very small tv and sky box on a roughly panited tv stand a table for only 2 people, only 2 plates, knives, forks etc didnt explain how to turn on the hot water for the shower which had extremely low pressure. No way to cook a meal on the stove no microwave in the unit. It was roughly painted inside, and over holes snd switches. Paint on curtians and the windows hard to shut, and the wardrobe door handle came off in your handno curtain to cover the glass front door facing the main rd, not enough seating for people to relax, broken lights, no dish cloth or plug for the sink. The toilet seat was roughly painted and looked awful just the start of my list but i think you get the picture by now. To finish off this stay we had some friends visit in the form of cockroaches. Wont stay here again......

This was the worse Motel I have every stayed at. Poor facilities, couldn't check in at the check in time, had to park my car on the street, only had a jug in my room and the place is been used for temporary accommodation. The people next door were awake most of the night and I couldn't sleep. This Motel should be taken off the Wotif website. Wouldn't stay here again.

This Motel was terrible. We did not stay there as conditions were so bad. Everything looked old and dirty and unkept.
We would reccommend that you remove it from your web site.
We would also like to be refunded the $99 we paid , as we did not stay.

Badly stayed kitchen chair and carpet. The hand basin had like big burn marks and a chip out of the hand basin.

In the twin room I stayed in they didn’t have any dinner plates. Also the room can hold 3 people, expect there was only two of plates, cups, and life and fork.

They don’t even supply a flannel, any extra blankets or pillows that alone a Iron.

In the family room that the people I was with had a hole in the ceiling.

There is only one door in all the units so if there was a fire in the room and you couldn’t get to the door you be stuck.

There no nets curtain so in you have to pull the blinds to stop any one seeing into your room.

Curb appeal wasn't that great, disappointing upon my arrival. Staff member who greeted me was ok but could have welcomed me better. I had to wait for the room to be cleaned before I could use the room. I would never stay there again, considering the main road and how close this is to it, and it seems really dangerous in terms of the room we had because it felt like a vehicle, truck could crash straight into the room. I did not feel safe in that room especially when I had my three young children with me. The amenities need serious upgrading. The stove was rusted and old looking. I would not pay this amount for what service and room we received.

It was comfortable, clean and central.
The children enjoyed the hotel experience in the family unit. We went opshopping Saturday morning and got some good scores. We visited the museum , which was very interesting and then went to local park for a walk with the children, nice playground and water and ducks. Would have visited the rose gardens if it was the season of blooms.
