The good - big new tv, and comfortable queen bed. The not so good - fairly clean, although corners and behind bathroom door need attention. Well out of town centre. The bad - pool closed for maintenance.

Very clean room and areas surrounding, also a very thoughtful manager. We were running a bit late, so he called us to ensure all was well and made accomodations for us. No hesitation at all in highly recommending this motel. Also, a very affordable tariff.

Tidy room, great tv, partly upgraded. Everything was good apart from the old box air conditioner, very loud, even on quiet mode it was like a lawnmower in the room, couldn't hear tv and couldn't sleep so had to switch off.

A lovely 'welcome back' by the owner. My choice of room ready and waiting for us. Easy parking and a quick walk to cool my feet off in the pool. Could do with a bedside table on my side of the bed. We'll be back.

Nice service and clean room

The hotel was in a good vicinity to the highway and local food options. Hotel was clean but needed some more comfortable chairs to relax in after a long trip. Would recommend getting rid of the green Fluoro lights in the car park as they shine through the blinds at night or maybe put block out curtains up inside the room. Otherwise our stay was very good and the hotel was a good choice.

Good for one night

Its on the main road into town off the Bruce Hwy. looks like it's been there a long time. The room was small , however very clean. Only one bedside table and easy chair. Behind the plastic curtain shower there was plenty of lovely hot water. There was a very large flat screen TV however reception was not good. Likewise internet was poor we were advised due to repairs still due after cyclone Debbie. All things considered, a comfortable night in a very clean 3 star property.
