6/10 Good

Good location and good parking Good shower Spacious room good beds No breakfast facilities noticed Overdue rubbish bin outside
ELENA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent older style motel, spotlessly clean. Comfortable king sized bed. Tea/coffee provided, microwave, fridge, toaster & breakfast crockery/cutlery. Rooms 23-25 are the quietest as they are off the main road. Curry on Corio serves excellent Indian food and is located in the football of nearby Corio Village shopping centre. Motel is 6 minutes away from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal.
David, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

You get what you pay for. A budget, uninspiring option, but conveniently close to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal.
Eleanor, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall very good no complaints
greg, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It’s never a good look when you pull back the covers of the bed to reveal someone else’s hair. Sitting on the toilet was a rocky event as it wasn’t securely attached to the floor. A very roughly done bathroom upgrade has it looking grimy and icky. No tv remote and the first room I asked to get moved from was mouldy and stinky. Convenient to spirit of Tasmania terminal but if you want some sleep stay somewhere else as it’s super noisy here too.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Badly needs a make over. Bathroom was dirty, no shower curtain. Bedroom very small. TV out of order.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is an old property and I was aware of this before booking. i was comfortable with old however the dirty was unexpected. The sheets and towels were clean however I was unable to shower and the floor was dirty and grimey and the the bathroom was filthy. I have photos if you require tham

Simply awful. Pay a little more, drive a little further
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely staff. Was able to wash and dry laundry overnight using machines at reasonable price. Just didn’t appreciate being woken up by inconsiderate cabin users making breakfast and playing music at 5am. Glad another camper sorted this so was able to go back to sleep. Very convenient and quiet area otherwise not far from Spirit of Tasmania drop off. Thanks ***
