Really impressed at how fresh, bright & clean everything was - seriously think on these attributes- the best motel I have ever stayed at!!! (Thinking a recent makeover?) Refreshed pool area & trampoline if travelling with kids/ summer travel. I did have a slight hiccup with the very high step out of the shower ( old, inherited plumbing situation) - but was gratified when the host was open to the suggestion of a non slip step, rather than being defensive of the situation. Perfect stop over, or longer stay, walking distance to great eateries. ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melvin 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities enjoyed it was close to everything just felt very comfortable ##### Melvin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caveman 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice place to stay for the weekend. very nice and friendly survive highly recommended ##### Caveman Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caveman 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful survise and well maintained ##### Caveman Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin 19 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good stay.

Our host was charming and helpful, the room was spotless and bed very comfortable. Plenty of variety and supplies of coffee, tea, etc. Plenty of towels, face cloths and toiletries. Older motel but was very well maintained. Close to railway line but no trains between 10.30pm and 6.55am, so had a really good nights sleep. Would definitely stay again. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable accommodation.
