We had a nice Overnight stay here. Room was perfect for myself and adult daughter. Queen bed and a king single, microwave, kettle, fridge and of coarse bathroom. David (I think the owner) was very welcoming and friendly. Rang him about 8pm for extra blankets and it was absolutely no problem. Would highly recommend staying here.

Loved everything about it - staff exceptional room was comfortable, laundry provided soap, and the food was great even though we had to eat by phone lights and car headlights as the power kept going off (not the properties fault)

Really old and tired.
Old furniture, saggy uncomfortable bed and the vinyl chairs were cracked and warped. The bathroom basin was crazed and cracked and the plug was solid and no longer fitted the plug hole. The shower was hot and refreshing.

Last resort accommodation
When we arrived the young girl at the reception was pretty blunt and wasn't very welcoming, not a good start given we had been on the road all day driving. We obtained our room key and went to inspect our room. Fridge had not been switched on in anticipation of our arrival, fridge had mould inside, bathroom light did not work (went to reception to advise, chef said he does the maintenance and would be down soon, we never saw anyone), animal hair in bedding, pacifier found in bedding of one bed, power went out for 20 minutes about 30 minutes after our arrival. General cleanliness was lacking. I wouldonly stay here again if all other places were booked out and it was my last resort.

Apparently hygienically cleaned and sealed toilet but bowl covered in gecko poo and lifting seat the underside was covered in urine splash. In 40 deg heat, it took forever for the air conditioning to cool the small room. It was obvious the room had not been vacced after prior guest. In general - rundown

One nighter
We arrived at the Ironbark after a 7 hour drive, the young lady at reception was very friendly. Were informed that the motel restaurant was closed. First impression of our room wasn't good, the table and path outside was covered in dirt and leaves. The room was tidy enough, however the bathroom light didn't work and there was no milk for coffee. We were also charged for an extra child but there was no extra bed or sofa, so they had to share a single bed anyway. Not worth $130 a night.
