Great location close to everything, clean, comfortable, and good service. We were kindly given a room upgrade & late checkout. Only small issues were: 1. a musty smell & 2.there was a giant shelf with a light in it above the bed instead of a headboard & I hit my head on it over 5 times. The room needs to be re-arranged or that shelf needs to go. Also, don't hide the second pair or pillows - we only found them on the second night.

A family with 2 young kids just stayed here for 4 nights. We found it a pleasant stay. The room is basic but has everything. The beds and pillows were in the right firm which I loved. It's a contactless service but I was promptly informed by the hosts before arrival and after check-in. Both hosts were lovely in person. Just follow the timetable at the reception to borrow books /DVDs and games. I would recommend this motel to others.

This Motel is just beautiful! It’s so quiet and serene. You have kangaroos and bird life right out your door. The staff/owners are amazing they’re kind, friendly, helpful, informative and super accommodating. There is plenty of parking spaces, it’s walkable to town and all you need is close by including shops, hikes, swimming pool, bushwalks and waterfalls. We stayed in the back rooms which were lovely, they were clean, had cutlery, plates, bowls, mugs and even wine glasses. Dishwashing liquid, tea towel and a cloth was also provided (which no other places do). The bed was actually very comfortable, I unfortunately suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis so was extremely appreciative of them providing a good quality mattress and base. Some might struggle with the shower, so anyone taller than 6ft (I just fit under it) will have slight trouble as it’s not adjustable, well it wasn’t in our room anyway. I honestly did not want to leave this Motel I was that happy there. The peace and surroundings are heaven. Huge thank you to Kelly, David and Tony. Can’t wait to come back again in December…..Hurry up December!!!!
