Prior to stayinf, we notified the motel we would be bringing dogs. We were placed in a room on the second floor. No/limited grassy areas around for my dogs to releave themselves. Permanent tenants were occasionally rowdy, especially at night. Felt a bit sketchy. The steakhouse was never opened during my stay, and hasn't been for years according to other reviews. "Breakfast included" consisted of tea, coffe, toast or cereal. No hot options. The room was alright. The only negative was it didn't have plates, bowls or any cutlery

This was a good place to stop and sleep for the night while we were travelling with our dog. Staff are friendly and it was accessible. There is not much choice when travelling with your pet, but this was an good find.

This is an old motel style, we have used several times before, and certainly will again. Rooms have been redecorated; plain, functional, spacious, easy parking. Very convenient to shopping precinct and our relatives. Lovely hot water, bathrooms very clean! We did have trouble with the tv but we are OLD!!! and eventually we found programs we liked. Beds comfortable, extra pillows, home away from home! Thanks guys!

This property was perfect for our needs and we had the best sleep - the beds were so comfy! The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were walking distance from the Gordon Hotel which had a great feed since the Steakhouse wasn’t open. The bathroom tiles and floor needed a clean but overall it didn’t take away from our stay.
