Our family stayed one night - we were driving and picked the first hotel - reception staff were lovely however the room was from the fifties! And yes was a musty smell! For the same price we should have driven on and found a cabin in a caravan park

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your room. As the motel is of an older style, we are unable to change too much of the infrastructure, however, the painting and soft furnishings are being continually updated. The rooms are in continuous use and as such are cleaned and aired almost daily.... More

Clean, comfortable, and adequate if you don't plan on spending a lot of time in your room. I asked for a room at the back and found it quiet with a pleasant outlook. The continental breakfast included was just as expected. Staff were pleasant and helpful. There were no smells as one of these reviews stated. The room had a... More

Thank you for your review. We are a 3.5 star motel and we do endeavour to surpass this where possible. The units out the back have a lovely view over the park and bushlands - very tranquil when you have been travelling or working all day. We look forward to welcoming you back. More

Unfortunately this was not what I saw on the net. Yes it's a great price but when I checked in the room was smelly and felt like it was not clean. The furniture out the front was broken. I stayed for a whole 30 minutes before I checked out. The service was friendly although I didn't get a refund.

I am sorry that you did not find the rooms to your expectations. We do receive very positive comments from our guests who book a 3.5 star motel and that is that standard that they expect. More

Stayed here as it was close to the family event we were attending in Wollongong. Very basic motel, but clean and host was friendly. Badly in need of a facelift, especially bathroom. Bed ok.
