We booked an economy room which was all that was available at the time but was quite spacious. The bathroom was tight but adequate and very clean. Sadly the restaurant was closed but there is a very good take away food shop within walking distance of the motel. Plenty of free onsite parking. Very helpful and friendly gentleman on the desk when checking in. We would happily stay here again.

Handy to Fern Bay
This motel is handy for us when visiting family in nearby Fern Bay. Has been renovated and rooms are large. We were given an upgrade to a quieter spot and larger room. Breakfast no longer available and although the room had a kitchenette you had to get your cutlery from reception. Other than that, no problems.

The room was adequate for my Wife & I. It was small, but if you didn't want to swing a cat around, it was very good. The room was recently built or recently renovated. The shower was excellent. There was room for two, if you are inclined. The bed gave us a great night's sleep. The Staff were brilliant. Very helpful & obliging. I would stay there again.
