So clean, well furnished and quiet. The showers and bathrooms were excellent. Just what you want from a motel after a long drive to recover. Swimming pool was out of order but not a factor for us anyway.

Nice place to stay to break up trip across Hay Plains. Close to Bowling club which has great Chinese style food. But it’s a good idea to book Motel room as gets booked out.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of this motel. Doing plenty of trips I am used to all sorts, but I must say the bathroom was very clean. Great credit to your cleaners. Only stayed one night, good and comfortable.

The property was clean. Room was huge. Bathroom was lovely. Only issue was the motel wasn’t open when we arrived to check in. Had to call them to get someone down to open and check us in. Great location.
