Very cute little motel in a gorgeous little village, the RSL does fantastic food, easy breakfast at the pizza shop which also does ordinary breakfast? You don’t have to have a pizza.

The lady receptionist was very friendly and helpful.
Whilst the property is old, our room was very clean and our bed was comfortable.
The RSL is a few doors down the road and we had an excellent meal there.
There is also a pizza place next door.
On site parking was an available.
It was a perfect and convenient stop for us on our way to Sydney.
