The staff was really welcoming, friendly and helpful. Disappointed about the spa, thought it would be warm to relax and soak but it was as cold as the pool 😞

Lovely helpful staff on check in. Room clean and bed comfortable. Room had microwave, kettle and toaster. Nice soft fluffy towels. Shower was over the bath, so may cause issues for guests with mobility issues.

Afternoon Sandra. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We do have rooms with showers and no baths so next time you stay just request one of these rooms.

Spa room very disappointing for cost. Had to ask for crockery, not enough space to make coffee etc Had to use bathroom bench which was big. Only shower was over the spa tub

Afternoon Maisie. I am sorry your stay was not up to your expectations. We do not leave crockery and cutlery in any of our rooms as we want guests to be comfortable knowing that they are eating off and with items that have been sanitised in our commercial kitchen. These items are replaced as needed. All our rooms have photos accompanying the room selection on the booking website which show the layout, facilities etc in the hope that guests have a realistic expectation when they book a certain room type and not be disappointed.

Staff were friendly & courteous. Queen spa Room & spa was a little small for 2 people. We just squeezed in. Aircon was too small for the room & struggled to put it on a comfortable temperature. Foxtel didn’t work. Clean. Central Mini bar was only available during reception hours. Overall a pleasant stay despite shortcomings.

we arrived a bit late night and next doors was made noise, door was opened and kids were talking all nights and watching TV and high volume. also knocking door and slum doors so many time. we couldn't sleep at all. also room wasnt cleaned enough, floors was dirty and we saw 3cockroches in the room that night. there was only 2left tissue paper in the box. we just wanted to say so disappointed it. they don't think about guests at all, feel so sorry for them.

Hi Shigeki,Thank you for your feedback as we are always stiving to improve. If you had let reception know, we would has spoken to the noisy neighbours. Is a shame some people have no consideration for others. I hope despite this, we may get a chance to see you stay again.

This motel is about as good as a motel can get. Everything was spot on . The room was spacious and nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay here. The only negatives are that we found the bed too soft and it’s 3km to town (wasn’t a problem for us though).

Worst bed I’ve slept in, one pillow each side, springs in your back Shower head use useless Tv was as old as the unit block Apart from that the staff and facilities where great
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023
Response from Dianne on 10 Jan 2024
Wow, you were disappointed. All our rooms have at least 2 additional pillow in the wardrobe for those who like more than one pillow to sleep on. Most of our rooms have smart TV's, which I am not sure were available 30 years ago. I am surprised by your comments regarding the mattress as most of our mattresses are less than a year old. Letting us know of your concerns whilst you are with us or on departure makes it so much easier to identify the room that you are concerned about and for us to rectify the situation. We want our guests to enjoy their stay, if they didn't we would be out of business so giving feedback is extremely important however feedback via a review is extremely frustrating as it is so time consuming to identify what room the review is about.

Response from Dianne on 10 Jan 2024
I am sorry housekeeping did not leave milk in your room, just a quick call to reception on the internal phone and we would have delivered it to your room. All our air-conditioners are checked daily by housekeeping so if it does not work it is often a simple fix such as pushing the key tag down further into the slot inside the door, again, a call to reception usually solves the problem as they are trained in solving the various problems air-conditioners can have.
