Great little motel right in the heart of Bruns. Lovely staff, exceptionally clean. Only taking one star off because I think it is a little overpriced for what it is.

Great Pool and bar area. We spent some time at the restaurant next door for happy hour( 3-5 weekdays) so good that we did it again the following day despite staying somewhere else!

Bruns retro stop

There are several lively restaurants, live bad on Sunday arvo to night. I loved it!! But if u have a challenging Bub / toddler it may possibly be a touch loud. Excellent food, best coffee, great crowd at your fingertips. Retro rooms, new reno, pool with drink bar, cool retro fit. I had the single queen and loved it. Maybe a wee difficult for family of little ones. Wishing Sails a very bright future 🙏

Love the vibe, the pool, the clever design of the rooms and most of all the lights, which are ambient and not fluorescent like in most other motels. And the pizza place next door is great too.
