The cabin was everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Cereal was extra which we thought was a bit much. It would be a nice touch to have that included.
Hungry Wombat Cafe next door is great. Burgers really fresh & great coffee

We had a very comfortable room (queen bed and single). Everything was spotless. The bedding and towels were fresh and clean. We had dinner at the hotel and it was superb! We had a great overnight stay. Woolies is also just down the road to grab snacks.

Very noisy neighbours banging doors and talking loudly but I can see you can’t be blamed for that. Loved how close it was to the venue I was attending, supermarket and shops. I’d stay again for sure

We walked into the motel to make a last minute booking for our family of four in Christmas peak season. The lady of the front desk was very helpful to get a room that would fit us, separate from the pub. The room itself was basic but clean and surprisingly quiet overnight, despite being so close to the pub. The motel is next to a park so that was handy for our kids to round around.

I liked the price.It was a room over the hotel. The room was great,shared amenities,old but clean and a shared kitchen.
I didnt like the staircase,especially with a large suitcase.
Also the entrance/exit to the carpark was thru the gaming room or a longer route thru another door.

Stayed in the Hotel section, it’s Budget accomodation and old but clean, shared ablutions and ok for the price
Accomodation in the area is hard to get
Had a meal in the bistro, huge menu
Maybe too big and wide ranging for the kitchen staff to cope with.
Had a seafood platter for x 2 $84 was good size and well presented, but the hero‘s of the platter the Gummy shark / Flathead filets were all encased in a stodgy thick batter and you could not taste what was inside
Would have been far better with just grilled fish so you could appreciate the taste
There as just way to much Deep fried product on the platter hiding the taste

The room was very clean...the shower floor was slightly slippery most likely a slight build-up of soap. Every else in the room was good. The balcony outside our room had a few cobwebs but it was pleasant to sit there and watch the traffic.
Staff were very nice and the meal was great.
Would stay there again.
