The motel is on the market, it’s all a bit rundown and dated but I had a reasonable night there. Woolworths supermarket just across the road was very handy.

Not worth the money spent
This Motel has been let go. It really needs to be upgraded. The shower had mold and the drain was blocked. Stains on carpet. Milk was given in a polystyrene cup. Pool area not maintained. Plugs in room that don't go. 80s furniture. Net curtains ripped.

The beds were very comfortable. A few things in the room weren’t working properly (over bed light, jug), and there were no decent knives, or a pot mitt. Otherwise it was clean and tidy and the manager was friendly and helpful.

Room curtains had holes....Shower lining was clean but worn through so it looked shabby.... Bought a double power point so I could watch TV. All that aside it was a good size unit with plenty of light and sun.

Extremely small tv in the unit. We have never been in a unit with such a small tv. Signs ion a wall indicated a large screen tv had previously been in place. Also a very noisy wall heater in the unit that vibrated excessively. Had to be turned off because of the noise. Good parking and very comfortable bed.
