          A motel with extras”

          We arrived in the evening and the host was very pleasant and easy to talk too. Our car was able to go under the Motel unit where it was covered in or on the road outside the front door. Directly across the road was a Chinese Takeaway and opposite that was a pub for meals. The room was spacious and had everything you need. The bed was very comfortable and the TV had Sky TV. Loved the stress chair that was very comfortable to rest in. Absolutely enjoyed the convenience of the Motel, so easy to find and extremely close to Statehighway 1, without any road noise at all. Highly recommend this Motel, and yes 100% we will be back.

          The unit was very tidy and had a good shower. The heater on the wall didn't seem to give out a lot of heat and this made it quite cool inside.

          Cheap and average if that's what you want”

          If you're looking for quiet this is not the place for you. Busy road and someone in the neighbour hood was having a party. Room pretty average. Needs a face lift. stains on the carpet Bathroom needs to be up dated. Plus side was it was close to where we needed to go. I wouldn't stay here again just because of the road noise.
