The accommodation is in a desperate need to be ungraded with some fresh paint and maintenance. We booked as a big family and our booking through Wotif was fine but for the family that called and booked their room wasn’t there, was lucky there was another room available. No apology or anything from the man working at reception. We had a long hair hanging off the kettle and several hairs on and in the toilet. The shower head needs to be changed as it’s that old the water doesn’t come out properly. Bed was ok, pillows need to be replaced and furniture is very old and worn. The grass is that over grown with massive weeds it’s like a jungle out the back. Has to be hands down the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in.

We stayed 3 nights to attend a function close by. Staff were friendly. The hotel itself is a little old. The room was comfortable enough. The walkway from the carpark to the rooms smelled terrible every day. The property is away from any shops or cafes so you have to drive everywhere.

Room was suppose to be newly renovated. However furniture was rough and missing trim in parts. Shower rail/ handle on door was broken. There was no hanging rod in robe. So had no where to hang clothes. There was a thin layer of dustcovering some surfaces throughout room. Decor was very dated. Curtains hanging loose from fixings. Quite a shabby room. Silicone seal in shower qas miss matched and some pressence f mould on shower ceilings.

VERY noisy. My room had a water system near by that ran the whole time, the walls were paper thin- I could hear the neighbours next door- their entire conversation AND their snoring. There was NO light in the morning for me to go outside & navigate all the stairs- pitch black.

I chose this motel only because of its proximity to my intended activity. The property is tired and in need of another renovation phase. It has such great potential yet seems to be only receiving most essential maintenance. I can understand how the pandemic must have smashed the profitability of this business. The reception staff were very helpful enabling an early check-in. (Thank you Joe? / Cho?.) The room was clean, warm and mostly comfortable and acceptably equipped. Shower and toilet plumbing is a bit noisy. Lack of outdoor lighting for rooms 21 - 34 is an EXTREME HAZARD when moving during hours of darkness. The property has no bar or dining which is a shame as I would have used it if available. Good for short stays where location is top priority.

When I entered the room I noticed that there was no remote for the TV. I went to reception and he acknowledged that the cleaning staff had also noticed that. A person was sent to the room to see the brand of TV but no action was taken to rectify the situation. When searching the room I found used tissues and a take away lid under the bed. It was clear that the room was cleaned to the edge of the furniture but not under it. The following day, I approached the reception staff again and they presented me with a remote control for a different brand which did not work. I noticed rubbish around the exterior of the property and there was significant wear and tear. On the positive, it was extremely convenient for the wedding I attended, and the facilities (bathroom, bed and kitchenette) were all good.
