A budget motel. Clean room and quiet location. The bar/restaurant on site was closed but there were a few options nearby. At $128 a night you get what you pay for.
The room was clean with comfortable beds and efficient heating. Electric hot plate worked well and fridge/freezer was a good size. Quiet area and good service.
Can do with a bit of renovation but staff were pretty friendly

People doing drugs in car park. People walking around all night and a lady calling for her dog all night inside and out. Need to do something about it but overall it was a good stay
The property is so unique bye to the open space and native Wildlife if U book a hilltop spa suite the possums are out the front at eye level there are chains leading from major trees so they can cross around safely and away from human interaction.

We stayed 3 nights to attend a function close by. Staff were friendly. The hotel itself is a little old. The room was comfortable enough. The walkway from the carpark to the rooms smelled terrible every day. The property is away from any shops or cafes so you have to drive everywhere.
The room we were in was very dated. Furniture was dusty. Front desk staff friendly. A place to stay if having an event but dont expect too much. No more than a 2 - 3 star.
The hotel was quite nice. There was a little hiccup with my original room not being cleaned prior to check in, however, they apologised and attended to it immediately, and also offered an upgrade. The room and bathroom were very clean. The beds and pillows were also clean and comfortable. The 2 queen bed room, was quite large and had a large desk that was great. Heater worked really well. Not too far to go for good dining options either. Would be happy to stay here again.
