Highly recommended home away from home.

Consistent quality at this motel. Professional yet with a feel of home with beautiful bedspread & linen, coffee machine and friendly owners who are lovely to deal with. Excellent location with easy stroll to CBD. Perfect accommodation for a busy week of work or equally a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended

This place is a hidden gem! It doesn't look like much from the outside (your basic motor lodge on a rather busy commercial strip) but don't judge the book by its cover! Our two room Suite was lovely very spacious, modern and clean with all the amenities you'd expect from a more upscale hotel. The owner (staffing the front desk) was super friendly and welcoming, and full of great suggestions for things to do and places to eat nearby.
