This motel has been around for ever. The rooms look like they have had an upgrade and are very comfortable. I wasn't a fan of the large square shower outlet but plenty of room in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Towels replaced for our second of the 2 nights,that was nice. Our room had a full verandah and was great as it rained all day. half the rooms dont have this option so be careful when selecting. The room had good glasses but small mugs. Had knifes, forks and spoons. Plates but only a small microwave. No other cooking was allowed. There is a RSL club and a couple of pubs all in walking distance. Right in town but on the main road. Id does have I think Triple glazed windows that kept most of the road noise out. Easy in and out.

Stayed 2 nights in a King room and everything was presented as advertised. Exceptionally clean and well maintained, nice room amenities. Hassle free check in and out. Easy walking distance to main street and traffic noise was minimal even being on the main hwy side. I would recommend 👌.
