Previous guests must have smoked. The sand ash tray outside the room facing the courtyard was littered with old cigarette butts. I guess being so close to the room the smoke would filter inside. No screens on any doors so we could not air the room. Guess we were unlucky with room 7\. Strongly suggest they should have a designated smoking area well away from the rooms or make the motel non smoking. Had a meal at the restaurant and was very good but we did wait a long time for 2 mains. ##### Roslyn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### James 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great getaway to relax as a stopover ##### James Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Therese 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely and clean,pleasant staff,food was delicious and room very comfortable ##### Therese Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 17 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Large room great location quiet area to break up the trip to Qld ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda 26 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean room and comfy bed, perfect for overnight stay. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Esther 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a good place to stay on a road trip with my family.
