I came here as a kid in 1987 with my parents. I never forgot and many years later in 2024 I return for a one night stay. Michael at reception was very friendly and looked after me. I loved the old fashioned style accommodation and all rooms are on the ground floor with parking at the door. The room was spacious with all the basic needs. Shower worked a treat. The air con took a while to kick in once it did the room was kept at a really good temperature. There’s lots of space outside and despite being on the main highway you get zero road noise (and I’m a light sleeper). No issues with free wifi I was able to plug in my traveling chromecast and worked really well I was able to watch the NRL & Super League games. I did give feedback to the gentleman at reception on Sunday about adding in more PowerPoints to accomodate with more use of technology these days and people who use motels to work. Lucky I always carry a power-board with me. They have a basic continental breakfast for $12. I’m glad I returned and an ideal spot to stay at in Newcastle region especially for a roaming traveler like me as it’s a gateway to Nelson Bay, driving further north or south and not far from the Stockton, Newcastle and Maitland turn offs. I have pictures & video on my Google Review.

Liked the parking facility, and the large central courtyard. Food were bit pricy for the portion served. Lots of insects due to farm land next to the property.
