Carolyn and Michael were great, so helpful when I rang to confirm the booking. Good value for money, very close to the city centre, we walked down through the park. I was there with a disabled person and they seemed to really enjoy their stay.

We recently booked 6 rooms for family, on the occasion of a family wedding. The location was great, the staff were very helpful in organising our rooms together, and providing a portacot for the baby. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and lots of extras provided.

We enjoyed our stay at the Oval Motel. We arrived in the evening and left early next day so cannot really comment on facilities. Would be good to have an n/a option on Expedia reviews. Rooms have been updated but retain some of the original retro charm. They are clean, warm and comfortable and the hosts were welcoming, friendly and accommodated our requests. I would recommend this motel.
