Nice location, pool was empty, last 2 nights of our stay guy riding very noisy motor bike in units next to motel and playing very loud music into early hours of the morning. Shower was leaking badly from rose head which needs to be repaired Blinds are old and dont really block out the light in the morning period.

Hi LesleyThank you for your review. In relation to the pool it had just been painted the previous week hence it was empty. The pool season for us starts on Nov 1 so it will be fully operational by then. In relation to the noise that you experienced I have this afternoon reported it to the local Council for them to investigate with their tennants as this is totally unacceptable to us. We do have a note on the back of the Motel room door which has our contact numher on it for any after hours issues so we can in these sort of circumstances report noise breaches to Police if we are aware.Thankyou for letting us know about the shower head in your room - we were unaware of it leaking and our maintenance person has addressed the issue.You mentioned the blinds - since Covid we had ordered replacement day and night blinds and four of the rooms have already had these fitted with the remainder being fitted once stock arrives into Mildura.Thank you for staying with us and thank you for your feedback.RegardsJackie & Ron

Stayed 1 night over the weekend. The room was very clean and quite modern. Had a few bits and pieces to help make it more comfortable such as tea, coffee, ketttle, toaster, microwave, pedestal fan. The staff were FANTASTIC. Were VERY friendly, helpful and very eager to please and help in anyway. Close to shops, pubs, takeaway, servos etc too. Would definately stay again and / or highly recommend. Only negative would have been the few mosquitos in the room we have to try and get rid of, but thats not their fault with the amount of rain, water and mozzies around. They have even provided aeroguard and bug spray and put processes in place to try and assist and eliviate them as much as they can. Thank you for such a nice stay it was a lovely weekend away

Hi AmandaThank you so much for your review. Your feedback is so important to us and our team. Yes the mosquitos this year are a challenge! We have just invested in "Ozzie Mozzie" units for each room to help with the control of them.We hope to see you again in the future.RegardsJackie & Ron

Smelly
This Motel is in a great location, the owners are very nice. The down fall of this place is that the carpets need replacing. The smell really bad. Beds were comfy enough. Just a real horrible smell.
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019
Response from Maree on 17 Apr 2019
Our sincere apologies for the carpet room smell in room 7. We were unaware but after checking with the staff the previous customers had really smelly shoes and socks. We have now a plan in place to deal with these situations in the future.

Convenient for my needs
It is a small place but its location near the highway into Irymple suited my needs. There us a pub next door with all the expected pub meals, very convenient for a late arrival looking for dinner before bed. The hot breakfast was fine and the owner even tried to accommodate my request for scrambled eggs, even though it was not on his menu.

Nice, large rooms, clean
Great little place to stay if you want something away from the city centre. Large rooms, good amenities, clean. Only problem was outside noise early in the morning. The walls are very thin and could hear every word of everyone leaving all morning. Being on holiday it was hard to enjoy a sleep in when woken at 7:30am every day! Apart from that, our stay was enjoyable.
