Extremely friendly staff very helpful and went over and beyond my expectations thank you and property was better than I expected for the price. The pool was delightful and clean and surrounding area safe. The off leash pet area was enjoyed by my 2 pups. Both my pups were welcomed with no hesitation this is definitely a fantastic pet friendly accommodation where I will definitely stay again. I just wish I hadn't kept driving past over the last 6 years and more. The grounds are lovely and plenty of land to take the dogs for a walk. Being next to the Big Mango was great as I was able to walk and get a sorbet highly recommended.

There was nothing not to like about the property.

It was out of the way. It was economical, it had a kitchen and the split system was working. It is spring in Queensland, I still feel the cold and I appreciated the service.

It had no wifi. No reception. I had no phone so a kind neighbour helped me out when I arrived. The property should promote it has self contained unit services, I discovered a petrol station 100 metres when the rain eased up. But it was too late by then, upon arrival, the owner recommended a bistro up the road that was also good. I had to wait until it opened, so it was a late breakfast.

Always stay here on the way up north - very dog friendly and typical old school motel set up. Beds comfortable and rooms are clean. Fridge and aircon cold and ready for you when you arrive

Was charged more than the booking.com price but didn’t take issue as the owner was very accommodating in having us arrive late the night before. Its a bit dated but well kept

Location, lovely view, swimming pool for the kids to take a dip, beautiful gardens.

It was great for a quick overnight stop to rest our heads. If there was anything we couldn’t get the hot water to work in the shower but it was a hot time of year so we really didn’t mind a cold shower to be honest.

The Motel catered foir meals delivered to the room which was very convenient for us after a full day on the road. Also the view from our room was marvellous, overlooking the Coral Sea. The general feeling of the place and the Owner was that it was "old fashioned" which suited us oldies just fine. it also catered for pets, which we didn't need though.

Nothing really.

Lovely location and great value inclusions provided.

Loved that it is pet friendly but the carpeted floor in our room showed signs of pet presence. We discussed this with the owner and hopefully this may not be an issue for others using this place.
