Excellent accomodation, clean & modern looking with everything matching the advertised description.
Only negative was some very noisy neighbours and some traffic noise, being right on the main road through Karuah.
Staff very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Older motel but comfortable bed and large ensuite room. Our only problem was the unviewable TV reception which appears to be a problem for the town. Good evening meals at the nearby club.

Comfortable bed and nice comfortable furniture with large open shower. Manager contacted us prior to arrival giving us the option of a refund as there was no power owing to a bad storm the night before.
We decided to go ahead with the booking and power came on soon after we arrived.

OK for a night
Good overnight stay, close to dining and entertainment. Rooms desperately need blackout curtains, especially the class panel doors. No sleeping when the sun is up.

Is only when you arrive that you find out there is no one in attendance. It's not difficult, but as you can't check your phone whilst driving, it's a bit daunting when you get there and there's no one around. When you get your phone out to ring the number, that's when you read their text and it's all sorted. Quiet, clean and accessible to the town.
