Ok for price, just needs a few things.

Office is not manned, Need to call and then they get someone to come see you. The unit we stayed in was tidy, but quite old. The stair and doors squeaked quite loudly. No Cutting board, only one small dull cutting knife, no vegetable peeler, no grater. Had free washing machine, and there was some washing powder there. One dryer did not work (discovered this when i returned 40 mins later. the other one did work. Had issue using Netflix on the TV the 3rd and 4th night (own account), but had worked first couple nights.

Although the rooms were large enough and clean. It was scruffy with some peeling paint and edges of the wall paper, the bath tub had no taps and was unusable, the shower door did not close fully and no holders for soaps and shampoos and had to use the floor. doors either were very tight to close and open or blew open with the wind. I believe the accommodation is over priced for what you get.

At the time of booking, I wasn't informed I had to call the staff to obtain the room key and the WiFi password until I arrived onsite. Could have communicated that better. The room wasn't exactly clean/tidy either.

Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.

Terrible customer service, no fan, room was not clean, the smell was disguisting, sheets were not cleaned. Receptionist was rude of the phone hanged up when i didnt finished talking on the phone. Requested for a room change but they said they will send their cleaner to clean the room and check if we need a room change or not. They do not care about customers, I would never book with them again. Outdated worn out.

An Emergency Shelter more than Motel

Shouldn't be on this website. It's a motel used for emergency accommodation, so a very transient and unomfortable feeling from occupants. The owners are never at the front desk. They make you call a mobile and wait ages. They have a permanent note on the office window saying "Due to a staff shortage emergency..." They act like they dont understand English, when clearly they do. It is clean, but thats its only redeeming feature.

Travellers: 3adults toddler. This place shouldn't be operating at all. The place was beautiful from the outside and got to enjoy the sunset from the balcony but we had so many ongoing issues. Felt like we were put in a dungeon. The appliances weren't working as the plug wasnt working so we had to get an extension chord and multi- plug to use another plug. The towels were damped and had brown wet stains on it so we asked the reception but she only gave one and saying "we only have one clean towel left, all our towels are dirty". The hot shower ran out after one person used it for 5mins. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and on the curtains. The curtains in the room we couldn't open up. The side table lamp wasnt working. The oven and stove was very filthy with dirt and left over old crumbs on it. The heater in the room was broken. We also had a couple of flees biting us around the motel. I cannot believe how filthy this place is. We were in Room 22 right in the corner back. The worst part was, the reception lady kept saying she will report it as she can't do much about it as shes covering for her friend whos been away for a month and wont be back until another month. We confronted her as we thought it was dodgy as we needed to speak to a manager or someone else the next day but she said no one works there except her friend whos overseas and shes not getting paid to help her friend look after the motel. This is very dodgy business. Overall we enjoyed our family company
