The room was in good condition, would have been nice if tissues were supplied. The lady owner was lovely, very nice and friendly. Lighting in the room could be improved.

Our main issue was other guests were outside their rooms, loud and smoking, we could not leave our windows open. My suggestion would be to make this property ‘NO SMOKING’ in respect for other guests as well a time to be inside your unit.

What made this motel stand out was the customer service. Having a son in the hospital and arriving late with no warning, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Exactly what you need when you are stressed and tired. The beds were super comfy, well equipped with everything I needed and I really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for your care.

This is a nice place to stay. It’s is clean and comfortable. Majority of the facilities are up to (my) standards. Good kitchenette, comfortable bed, good TV, good working space with good access to PowerPoints. Room Service was daily and excellent. The water pressure in the shower was poor and the outside noise (my room was roadside) was noticeable. I didn’t much like the pillows.

Nice hotel

We only stayed one night over Easter but the staff were very friendly. The room was in good condition except maybe the sink on the bathroom, it had hairline cracks in it. This didn't effect how it worked at all it just didn't look as pleasing to the eye. On the plus the shower had great pressure and the use of the free laundry on-site was great and just purchase your washing powder from reception.

Close to town, hospital and main highway.

On arrival check in wasn't a warm experience, females staff member seemed annoyed.
Also compared to other rooms i didn't have a parking spot, in its place was an outdoor arranged \"Stone\" area with seats (of no use in my view) as there was a table in chairs set up right outside my room.
Room was nice n clean, comfortable bed, enjoyed the spa, although the bathroom basin had multiples unsightly cracks.
Check out was easy (head male staff member was lovely)

Second choice.

Couldn't get our first choice so this seemed a good alternative. Stayed 3 nights on a birthday stopover heading back north,very nice complex and suited the purpose.
Handy to most requirements, we had to go a bit further afield so a car was necessary. Looked like you could probably find everything you needed within walking distance.
Easy access to the complex ( on main road ) and plenty of parking. No traffic noise.
We had a unit in the corner next to the child care, no problem. Large unit and very comfortable, showing a bit of wear in the bathroom but in general very good condition.
Would go back again.
