A quiet secure property with secure parking. Very good family reception in a traditional Aussie hotel. It had not been overly modernised and maintained a historic homage to the original service that an establishment of this type would provide in times past.

The motel is located directly on a railway line, and several trains passed by at night. The motel is quite dated. But the two receptionists, who were apparently on their first day, were very nice and tried everything to salvage our stay.
