Handy location to town, nice but basic restaurant on site. 90s style yet clean and safe.
King beds would be a good addition for taller travellers.

Great for an overnight stay
We had a disability room which was huge and well equipped and very comfortable. It had a large lounge and dining area. My only complaint was that the power points were under the bedside tables against the wall. For anyone who was wheelchair bound I don’t know how they could be reached. Good location and helpful staff.

The Thunderbird was everything we expected from a country motel and more. Spacious comfortable room with all the expected amenities. The staff had a welcoming country attitude and were more than happy to have a chat. I seriously recommend the Thunderbird Motel.

It was a great motel, found the room to be very clean, bright, comfy and quite large in comparison to many we have stayed at. Was in a great location for shopping and the information centre across the road had a great park to relax under trees and take the kids to play.
