I booked late in busy season. The accomodation was close to everything. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room, bed and bedding were in excellent order and clean. I haven’t stayed in accomm like it before and was surprised and pleased with it. Would recommend it to anyone.

It was a bit noisy at night due to either a generator or air conditioning units outside my window. Shutting the windows helped a lot but it didn't block it out completely.

Motel is on the main road but our room did not hear the road noise, however the refrigeration and central air conditioning motors provided a constant hum. Room was a queen with 2 seater couch, tv and bathroom. Our 4WD could not fit in the underground Carpark so we parked adjacent in the street, no problem. Rooms on 2nd floor but no elevator and the stairs are narrow. Nice place to stay. Meal in the restaurant was also very nice.
