The facilities were old & the kettle even leaked but the beds were comfortable & the room smelt clean. The other guests were noisy (particularly above) were extreme noisy late at night when my 2x young daughters & I were trying to sleep after me driving all day & needing to drive the following day.

This motel like many others in small towns and rural areas in Australia is quite old and hard to modernise. So room and bathroom are small and facilities hard to equate with 21st cent expectations. However the room as very clean, seemed freshly painted and we enjoyed a very comfortable kingsized bed. There are no meals available but there is a tavern next door . The manager /proprietor was very pleasant and welcoming on our rather late arrival. Traffic noise was bearable at night .
