We booked a 2 room cabin, the place was quiet that was nice but the place wasn't clean a dirty oven try left in the oven! Plates with crumbs on them! The bathroom fan didn't work so the cabin was super super damp, no soaps or shampoo dispensers were all empty! The bathroom and toilet door didn't close properly or quietly. The main bedroom must have a leak somewhere it rained on the last day and the carpet in the morning was super wet along the window. Couches were uncomfortable feels like it pushes you head forward and the TV had no Internet connection to watch Netflix like advertised. The place is very run down and needs a really really good clean! The accommodation was close to town and quiet. I wouldn't recommend this place spend an extra $100 and stay somewhere else

Don’t stay here
Not good at all. Beware as photos are deceiving. Potentially fake. A complete dive!! One towel for two people staying. No hand towels, facecloths, bath mat. So over priced. Would have been better off at a camp ground motel and would have been way cheaper. The hosts will deny the claims I’m sure. Also if you read some of the past reviews, they just don’t stack up. Fake as well probably.

Bedroom table lamp globe missing and no kitchen dish cloth etc. Lounge layout a bit cluttered with mismatched sofas.
On positive, parking right in front of unit.

Chose this motel for location, look and pool as shown on internet. Location great, 500m from town and opposite Trafalgar Park. It was clean in arrival. However, for the price, it's old and dated, plus not serviced. Our room wasn't cleaned and when I asked I was advised it was because I didn't put sign in door. I had no sign, no advice to do so. Following day towels were changed out but that's all. No other servicing which was not at all expected nor is it advertised as a no service hotel. Pool is NOT heated as advertised. It was like ice and day 28. We were told pump was broken and it was swimmable but filthy and full of bugs. Full of kids toys and surrounded by old, broken furniture. Receptionist was friendly and helpful, but the rest really let them down.

Very friendly & helpful staff .
The 2bedroom unit was in poor condition, mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, the oven still had crumbs & the icebox was unusable due to ice buildup.

Property looked much different in photos than it did in person. Cockroach running along walls, dirty under the furniture, very small. Pool was a mess. Overall very unhappy with my stay.
