The lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Whilst the property is old, our room was very clean and our bed was comfortable. The RSL is a few doors down the road and we had an excellent meal there. There is also a pizza place next door. On site parking was an available. It was a perfect and convenient stop for us on our way to Sydney.

One night stay on the road to QLD.

Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property presents as an older building but the King bed room we had was very good. Everything we could need was provided. A small mini bar selection but reasonably priced. The room was very clean and comfortable with a small lounge, table with 2 chairs, coffee/ plunger and tea, microwave etc. Special mention for the lovely thick towels that were of a much more suitable size compared to the usual small offerings. The water pressure in the shower was also phenomenal. Checking in was a breeze and staff are friendly. Very short walk for IGA, Bakery,Pizza/burger/breakfast cafe...very good pancakes. The RSL club is also a very short walk. Would definitely go back when in the area again.
