At the time of booking, I wasn't informed I had to call the staff to obtain the room key and the WiFi password until I arrived onsite. Could have communicated that better. The room wasn't exactly clean/tidy either.

Travellers: 3adults toddler. This place shouldn't be operating at all. The place was beautiful from the outside and got to enjoy the sunset from the balcony but we had so many ongoing issues. Felt like we were put in a dungeon. The appliances weren't working as the plug wasnt working so we had to get an extension chord and multi- plug to use another plug. The towels were damped and had brown wet stains on it so we asked the reception but she only gave one and saying "we only have one clean towel left, all our towels are dirty". The hot shower ran out after one person used it for 5mins. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and on the curtains. The curtains in the room we couldn't open up. The side table lamp wasnt working. The oven and stove was very filthy with dirt and left over old crumbs on it. The heater in the room was broken. We also had a couple of flees biting us around the motel. I cannot believe how filthy this place is. We were in Room 22 right in the corner back. The worst part was, the reception lady kept saying she will report it as she can't do much about it as shes covering for her friend whos been away for a month and wont be back until another month. We confronted her as we thought it was dodgy as we needed to speak to a manager or someone else the next day but she said no one works there except her friend whos overseas and shes not getting paid to help her friend look after the motel. This is very dodgy business. Overall we enjoyed our family company

My family arrived and we had booked a 2 bedroom unit for the 4 members if my family. We were disgusted with how dirty the place was. Especially the kitchen, plates, cutlery etc and the window behind the stove is covered in grease. The plates and cutlery were filthy so we had to wash everything before we used it and as we booked for four members we would have expected enough cutlery for all of us but there was only 3 spoons and 3 forks! There were no basic items sullied such as tissues or face cloths and while we had been given four towels we had to only use them once as the shower seal was leaking and flooded the bathroom floor whenever any of us had a shower so we had to mop it all up with the towels. Then when we turned down the bed the bed cover had a great big stain on it. Overall we were disgusted with how dirty and unclean the place was and there was never anybody there in the office to even talk about this with. We would never recommend and will never go back.

On our arrival the gentleman at the reception desk was not friendly or co-operative at all, told us to contact their receptionist by phone and sort out the matter with her, unfortunately her attitude was worse than the gentleman at the reception desk and had to contact Wotif to sort out the matter of us wanting to leave a day earlier. The property had no dishwashing liquid so we could wash our dishes, the room was not cleaned or beds made the next day, no WiFi password given, no one maning the reception desk the whole weekend, the list could go on. I will not stay there again or recommend to anyone else.

Property was very out dated - unfortunately the room hadn’t been vacuumed and the smell of previous people’s cooking left the room stinky.
