Lovely place with very accommodating management; we had asked to access the room early to get ready for a wedding and they went out of their way to assist. Breakfast in the attached cafe was really good and reasonably priced too!

We love staying at homestead because the people are pleasant and helpful. I enjoy being able to have breakfast and coffee in the cafe. The motel is in a convenient position - near the sports centre and sports club). The mattress was lumpy, soft and uncomfortable. Also, there was only one towel rail for up to 4 people but I will definitely stay there again.

Only stayed for one night but the room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I chose this motel because the room looked big and had carpet so my 8 month old could crawl on the floor. He couldn't stop smiling everytime he was in the room. Room was large and we would definitely stay again. Great that there was covered on site parking and a cafe too.
