Wayfarer Motel or Bates Motel? On approach it appears like a motel from a Midwest American slasher film. The trees and grass are overgrown and all the greenery on the motel itself is dead and dying. I have expected to find Norman Bates manning the reception desk. You receive the combination to your room on a Post-it note and I’m unlocking the door you find it won’t lock again. The rooms are small but adequate and to be honest for what you pay they’re okay. It has to be mentioned that the bathroom had a stool straight out of the 1970s, which is the one that looks like a plastic picnic salt and pepper shaker. When you try to shower at 7 o’clock in the morning there is no water coming out of the hot water pipe, you’ll find out later in the day that they have it turned off and you have to ask for it to be on the next morning. The staff are pleasant and helpful, though they can only work with what they’ve got. I won’t be staying there next year.

Photos of this property were obviously taken 10 years ago! So run down. I’ve stayed in many motels all over the country/world and this would have to be the worst place we’ve ever stayed. There were hairs on the pillows. My kids complained of being able to feel what felt like dirt at the end of the bed. The door between main bedroom and kids bedroom didn’t close! Bathroom doors didn’t close and looked so dirty! I don’t think floor had been mopped between stays! No soap supplied! No room key given! Just a written key code on a post it note! Seriously don’t know how this place is still running! Save your money or spend $30 more and stay elsewhere!

couldn't pay me to stay there again, my door code expired a day before I was due to check out. No staff were in the office or around the motel, no one answered phone after 6 hours of being locked out I had to call a lock smith to break into the room for me, left voice mails and a personal message, no one contacted me after I left to tried to make anything right

Budget accommodation at reasonable price

Rooms out the back are decent 3-star standard, with signs of wear and tear but clean and functional. Front of building looks very rundown and cannot comment on these rooms. Owner was very helpful.

This would be my in my top 3 of worst motels ever stayed in. We were allocated room 15 after our room 1 was not ready at 2.45pm at check in. The room was grubby, dusty and in dire need of renovation. The bathroom ceiling mouldy. Curtains ill-fitting and torn in places. I have photos to back up my assessment. Never again.

Located on the main street but towards the southern end of town. Exterior of the property could use some attention (tidy up). No frills but a comfortable night's stay.

The property is very run down and in need of major renovations. Dust and cobwebs all over the walls mould in the bathroom. A bed that needed to be thrown out years ago. When you layes down blood rushed to your head and one side of the mattress completely lacked any support at all. The hot water failed, it was like all the rooms are connected from water pressure prespective because I was halfway through my shower when I lost all hot water pressure. Not enjoyable trying to wash the soap off with a dribble of water. Walls very thin, people in joining room left there TV of all night so that was all you could hear when trying to sleep The worst part however was thst our room door would not lock. They have keypad locking system but once we opened the door it would not lock, solution was to just use the chain on the door. No matter what the owner tried it wouldn't lock. While the owner was pleasant on the phone and answered all my calls it was all the other things that made thia worst place I have ever stayed and I would not recommend anyone stay here.

I arrived at 5.30. I thought it was a disused motel. No one at reception. Poor lighting. Texted reception. They told me to go to Room 15. It was pitch black. There was only one car - a Ute next to my room out the back. Wolf Creek vibes. I asked for room out the front. They said the rooms were dirty but said I could have room 9. The pin didn't work. I asked for a refund. They said okay. But I got charged. Currently arguing with them. Stay wide clear unless you're a movie producer looking for a serial killer's hunting ground. This is just the place for you.
