For $185 for a night's stay I was less than impressed! The bed was rock hard, could have slept on the floor for the same level of comfort. Bathroom very dated, the hot water system groaned for a while, could hear the microwave ping from next unit. Nope, never again.

Disliked: Amenities
This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in my life. Old dirty. I couldn’t sit in the arm chair for grease on chair. Filthy tiles in bathroom. Someone had a shower next door and water came up through drain in my bathroom. Dirty marks on wall. No bed head. Floor was sticky and dirty. Walls were paper thin. Could hear next door. Not sufficient lock on the door. Felt unsafe on my own. Sheets were clean. Terrible experience. Wont be trusting Wot if again.

This motel was great ..Nice and quiet with a clean pool in a private area . The owner at the front dest was very friendly and informative - giving me clear instructions on how to open the gate and return the key when I left early in the morning. I felt safe in the motel as there is a big gate at the front, so only motel patrons can access the grounds . The motel is a 5 min walk to the local coach stop . I got a coach and train back to Sydney and it was a very scenic and enjoyable trip . I would stay at this motel again ..
