Nice place to stay

A one night stop over. Very nicely set out room with plenty of space and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and plenty of room to mkve in the shower. Partially undercover parking and plenty of turning room. Only negative, you need to drive into town for food if you font want KFC which is walking distance.

Shoe Box Accommodation for 1 person. No room for luggage easy access unless placed on bed. Cramped kitchen/bedroom option, yet very spacious toilet/bathroom. I would look elsewhere or ask for a bigger room.

OK

It was OK. We picked it because it had the nicest pool, only to discover it could not be used which was frustrating.

The jolly swagman was a real delight to stay at, pool area, tennis and spa were all used in our 24 hours there. Situated just other end of Main Street, easy access to all food. Clean and tidy rooms.

I liked the convenience of the motel as it was just off the highway. The restaurant was there and walking distance to other food outlets. I would definitely stay there again.
