The whole Motor Inn needs a lot of work. It is very outdated. From sixties. Some mould, paint peeling off, tiles missing in the shower base and the list could go on. But Bright is worth visiting. The towels and bedding were clean and also the outdoor pool was kept very clean. We would not go back unless it is renovated.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a quiet place mainly because not a busy time , the room I had was situated beside an out building with noisy hot water units constantly operating a little annoying but not totally unbearable. Maybe a different room and it wouldn't be so noticeable or even consider a better sound proofing design. Otherwise an adequate base for daily adventures.

Our room was generally clean, comfortable and met our needs for a last-minute 4 night get away for our young family of 3. On arrival, our room didn’t contain all advertised amenities but staff were very responsive and addressed the gaps quickly. Room decor is very tired and dated, couch fabric torn. A good motor inn that would be great with the necessary love and attention required to address necessary repairs and maintenance, both inside and outside of rooms. The motor inn is crumbling around the edges. Timber bbq frame is collapsing and safety is questionable with broken controls & an igniter that is tricky to start. Parts of the playground require urgent repair to level platforms and prevent further collapse of rotting timbers. Pools are clean and obviously being maintained, but fibreglass lining of the baby pool is fractured with exposed broken edges - inquisitive little fingers beware. Parking was a free for all, don’t expect to be able to park outside your room. Other guests parked visitor and guest vehicles across our room, blocking driveway thoroughfare. We felt unsafe raising this with staff due to the aggression of other guests. Clearly marked spaces (eg. Timber space markings) may have addressed this.
