We loved the private tub that came with the room. This was a cheap stay for us so considering that the room itself was relatively tidy but could definitely do with a deep clean. Some mould in the bathroom and wee basic things like body wash run out and not refilled in shower, and just general cleanliness of skirting boards etc. We had also booked for 4 people but rooms was only set up for 3. Other than that we enjoyed our stay for the price we paid.
Paid $80 for 1 night for 2 adults.
Clean room. Good shower, private spa outside. Happy with basic amenities.
Only thing missing was a small cooking aparatus
This was ideal as a stopover.
Everything was clean and ready for us - thank you to our hosts.
As a studio unit, there is not a full kitchen (to wash dishes) but toaster, jug and fridge were ideal.
Mattress firm and very comfortable.
Outside private spa bath was lovely, it rained overnight andbit was awesome sitting in the tub under small shelter roof and watching rain fall.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Basic and comfortable room. Comfy bed. Liked the spa bath in the small private courtyard out the back.
Owners may need to spend a bit of time on maintenance, eg, the moss and cobwebs in the courtyard. Could also see the Smoke alarm was not working.
Overall, a pleasant stay.

Liked: Room comfort
Tired, but comfy and budget friendly
This is a slightly tired and dated motel, but for the price paid we cannot complain. The “spa tub” bath has seen better days , and we would not have wanted to sit in it, but for showering it was acceptable. We slept very well as the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We chose this motel because it had such a high rating. Maybe the other rooms are better but ours was dated and seriously run down. It so needs a make over. Staff were friendly and it was clean but no amount of cleanliness can make up for aged and worn chattels.
