Overall clean and comfortable, i do not like having to clean dishes in a bathroom sink. The advertising did state there were stairs to the room, actually there were about 4, yet the were a bit deep and the handrail unstable, that being said they are obviously doing a complete renovation of the motel so hopefully the are looking into doing a ramp to be used by all if not upgrading the steps.

I stayed overnight with my husband. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious had a modern bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Good modern fridge, long bench and storage under bench. Cutlery and crockery provided. Microwave. Free wi-fi and good reception. The chairs were too low for high bench. Overall very good value for price paid. Would recommend this Motel and would stay again.

The check in and check out was polite and nice. The room number one that we stayed in was in excellent condition and very, very clean. The unit was easy to get to and the parking was just outside. Everything in the room was perfect, including the view over Mount Gambier from the front window. This motel is a ten out of ten for us and we would defiantly stay there next time. Very good value for money and very helpful staff members. Regards Sharrone and Pete.

1. Food scraps kept coming up the bathroom basin from the drain which was blocked. 2. Brown stains on quilt that looked like old blood stains. 3. Toilet lid too small for toilet and moved on the base. 4. Brown gunge came out of the kettle when poured out water on arrival. 5. Insufficient amount of toilet paper left in the room. No supply under sink. 6. Very small room with 1 chair. 7. Great spot close to good hotel dining. 8. Nice view 9. Excellent location and essy parking Only would stay here as a last resort as was in this case. Review completed by 3 adults.

Needed somewhere to stay that was affordable for an urgent quick trip. I stayed here & was worried being 7 months pregnant that the beds would be uncomfortable given the price. I had a great sleep, the bed, pillows & blankets were nice. Room had aircon & blockout blinds & blockout curtains. Mini fridge was the best one I’ve used & actually kept my water bottles really cold which was nice. Not many hotels/motels ever have a good working fridge.
