We received a friendly welcoming smile after 7 long hours on the road, which was lovely. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed, with an extremely comfortable bed. Even though this motel is just on the outskirts of Childers, it was only a 3min drive back into town. There's lots restaurants & pubs offering meals, with several places offering takeaway, so we could dine back in our room if we preferred. All in all, a great motel to stay in.

Lovely place to stay. Our room was so clean and spacious. The bathroom renovations are fantastic plus a lot of extra personal touches. Easy parking. The group kitchen was a bonus had we needed it, and I made good use of the large coin operated washing machine and dryer. Happy to recommend to others.
