“Best budget hotel ive stayed in . Reception prefect just drove 650 kms in 39*c heat as i check in the fridge is full of refreshing drinks . Room spotless clean and bright. And the best Rib fillet ive had in a decade . Thankyou manqgement and staff”
“The staff were excellent in communication prior to our stay, in sorting out our late arrival and during our stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the bathroom has been refurbished and the water pressure was great!!! The beds were super comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The highlight was the amazing meal at the onsite restaurant!!! The best steak I’ve had in a long time!!!! A 300gm eye fillet cooked to perfection with salad that was cut and prepared fresh when we ordered, along with the mushies that went into my gravy!! Also very reasonably priced!! Only open an hour a night, it is well worth ordering from!!! And the service of the chef was 10/10!”
“The motel was very comfortable and clean. Close to places where we wanted to go. Very nice dinner so much beautiful meal. Prices are excellent. Owners very helpful and friendly. Staff excellent also Xox”
