Clean, attention to detail with the little things. Check in was easy and ample space. Noise at night from others moving around the property, but that’s a guest thing, not a motel thing so over all, super impressed.

The room was clean and tidy, perhaps some investment to spruce the room and balcony up which comes across a little dated.

We love staying at homestead because the people are pleasant and helpful. I enjoy being able to have breakfast and coffee in the cafe. The motel is in a convenient position - near the sports centre and sports club). The mattress was lumpy, soft and uncomfortable. Also, there was only one towel rail for up to 4 people but I will definitely stay there again.
