Onbody around when we arrived. Had to leave the key 🔑 in the door note in the reception explaining
I would not waste your money.
- Linen Stained - pretty sure sheets were reused and unwashed
- Only 2 towels supplied for the 4 guests
- Dirty glasses and microwave
- Disgustingly dirty sofa
- Damaged light fitting with wires exposed
- Broken kitchenette cupboards
- Pillows are paper thin
- owner/manager started his very loud Ute at 12am and left it running
Had to wait 35 mins to get a room as room was not made up. They had ample time to do this.
Electric blanket had power issues as one side worked and the other side didn’t. Was not game to use as I might have got electrocuted.
Looked like there was dry blood stain on sheet.
I would not recommend to anyone.
We arrived at 315, no staff on site and room wasn’t ready. Came back 2 hours later to check in and got into the room. It was horrible, looked like bad emergency accommodation. Too many things wrong to even explain. The spray painted walls with overspray on the door just one thing. It was so bad that we booked another motel and left as soon as we could. Do not waste your money here, you will live to regret it!
Could do with a huge make over in everyway.
Pillow case was dirty the air con was so loud you can't have it on while your sleeping so was freezing cold. Bathroom no space to put anything... fridge was dirty just little tubs of milk. There was a microwave and some dishes so that a start. Also a very musty smell.
Sheets were covered in dirt and hair. Didn’t look or smell like they had ever been washed.

Location is fantastic , checking in/ out effortless , room is quite dated , smelt strongly of stale cigarettes, we had to get air fresheners , carpet looked grimey and heavily worn , air con had grunge stuck to the evaporater .
We didn't like the bed that folded us like bananas.
We didn't like the shower door handle that had a three inch screw coming out the back. This threatened to disembowel us.
We didn't like the paper thin towels.
The propert has good potential that is being ruined by sloppy workmanship.
Forget putting in a pool and pay attention to detail.
Maintenance of the room was terrible. Paint over spray on the carpet and curtain pelmet. A whole in the screen door to fit the key. Bathroom door was falling apart, no handle on the shower screen. Mattress hadnt been turned and was sinking into one spot that others had left. Etc. Do not recommend, this was 2 star if lucky
