4/10 Fair

Not so nice…
Compared to the other motels and b&bs on our trip, this was the worst. The bathroom was small, old and shappy with a shower head placed much too low. the towels were nice. There were no wineglasses, no decent milk or water bottles or other products. The bed was too hard. So not a nice place…
ulla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

On the edge of town, and for me, convenient to head straight out of town the next morning to Port Macdonnel.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very good motel. The rooms are nice and clean and spacious . The owners too, are very friendly people and I thought the rates were excellent.No complaints at all. I have stayed there before and will happily stay there again.
Pieter, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was clean and neat however, the bed was very uncomfortable. The room could do with a refurb as it is a bit outdated. The staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome and our check in easy as we arrived late.

Room was clean and tidy. Facilities to make a coffee, but the kettle would not fit under tap in the bathroom so made that a little tricky. Overall ,a pleasant and comfy stay.

We book a room on wotif and was told that wotif had authority to state this price... So we were given a basic queen room ... But wotif said they were paying the difference... Talk about ridiculous Only good thing was the bed was comfortable .
