We have stayed here a number of times now. It's very good value, especially considering that breakfast is included and dinner is often available as an add on at a modest price. It's an older place but more than adequate. Parking directly outside the rooms, water pressure good in the shower, comfy bed and a quiet location.

Our goal to location on the drive from Sydney to Queensland. Comfortable room with king bed. Great restaurant and service. The head chef comes to enquire how the meal was Only suggestion is when breakfast opens at 7am everything should be out ready. I had to wait 10 minutes for yoghurt. Lots of early starters including contractors and trades and people don't want to rush breakfast
