The beds where comfortable and air-conditioned worked fantastic and shower hot water system omg fantastic hot 🔥....

The door wasn't toddler safety lock and the height of the door handle was a height 1 yr would easily open . Saturday morning was awaken by load banging sounds 7:22am and music playing ... had a look and realised roofers fixing 1 side area I wasn't notified about working happen at the property.

The room was clean, it contained a microwave, toaster and kettle, some crockery and cutlery, only one bowl for our breakfast cereal which was inconvenient. The bathroom had an unpleasant odour, possibly coming from the drain but otherwise it was clean and functional. Motel is located very close to a Woolworths supermarket which was handy. Has a security gated entrance into the Motel area.

The building looks sturdy but the walls must be thin because we could hear people talking in the room next to us and also their TV. The motel which has about 40 rooms only appeared to have about 6 cars in the car park on the Saturday night. Surely if the motel isn't full, rooms needn't be allocated right next door to occupied rooms? Couldn't at least one room be left empty between occupied rooms to avoid the inconvenience of being kept awake by the people in the room next door? Mattress toppers are great but they can only do so much to make the bed comfortable, it's time to replace the old mattresses.

The owners were incredibly friendly, accommodating and kind. The room had everything you would need, the AC and fridge were miles better than our 4* hotel in Central Sydney! (So were the mattress and pillows!) They were happy to recommend their favourite local places to eat in the area which would usually have been overseen by the big chains and we’re so glad they did! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, truly - thank you.

Honestly I’m finding it hard to think of anything to write in this section and I’m pretty picky. Considering the Wi-Fi is free and it’s a motel, it worked great. We watched Disney+ on our laptop at night but Netflix couldn’t load (because we pay for 4k, so that’s absolutely nothing on their free Wi-Fi, plus if we wanted to we could have logged in on the TV in the room). We spent an entire day using it hungover in bed after a wedding and it worked perfectly with no issues up until we tried Netflix.

Beds were so comfortable. Bathrooms have been renovated and the shower was so worth looking forward too after working hard each day. Quiet but in a great spot. Close to everything you need. Will definitely stay there again.

No sink to wash the dishes. Bathroom sink is there but not a sink to wash dishes in. We had to leave it for the staff i’m sorry.

LOVED The mattress, so comfortable and such a spacious room. Good selection of channels on the TV and the spacious shower was very comfortable. Didn't use the pool but its great that its available.

The water pressure in the shower was a little soft and it took a while (15 minutes) for the hot water to actually heat up.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was electronic but very easy to follow instructions. Shopping center across the road with a beautiful cafe for breakfast. Our room had a microwave, plates and cutlery if we decided to go across to one of two supermarkets across the road.

Everything was fine. We had no complaints at all

The hotel accommodated a request for an early check in (even though we were late and didn't end up needing it) and they text to tell you your room is ready, which is excellent. The room was clean and large and had everything we needed for a one night stay. Instructions were good and there were even little biscuit packets which was great when getting in really late and just wanting a little snack.

Stayed in a King Room. Very large comfy bed. The size of the room was great for an extended stay. The room was equipped with a toaster and kettle and a good supply of various coffee and teas. I liked the security of closed gates accessible only by swiping your room key. Only a short walk to Woolworths, Aldi, Bakers Delight and takeaways. There also appeared to be staged renovations in progress which didn't affect our stay. There where also a number of EV Chargers on site.

I really cannot think of anything.

We have stayed at this motel several times over a number of years and are always very happy with the service, location and facilities. As a bonus, on this visit, our room had been newly refurbished and the bathroom was brand new. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We would happily recommend this property.

Rooms were clean and well equipped with fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. The showers could use a refresh with silicone starting to degrade. Staff were friendly as always. Appreciate the no-party no-loud-noise rule - very peaceful good for sleeping.

The car park is all kinds of torn up?? Looks poorly and is a tripping hazard in the dark.
