I had a nice and quiet two-night stay here. the rooms were tidy, and the curtains did a great job of blocking out the early morning light at 5 AM. There was also an air conditioner and a decent bathroom. the staff, including the owner, were excellent and really friendly. 😊.

Price was good for the whole family over the holiday season.
We found the cockroachs in the bathroom and a bit musty from the carpet。

Friendly staff, clean room, quiet
No kitchen facilities in the unit although described as a motel. Had to use the bathroom sink to wash dishes.

I never like it when the bathroom light and extractor fan always come on together with the one switch. The bathroom was really quite small though adequate. To keep up with the trend for mature age travellers to travel with their pets, pet-friendly rooms should be available, as they are at the nearby Henty-Bay C/Park cabins.

Despite not having a designated disabled room, I managed well with my walker and wheelchair. The unit had a small step, which was better than other places. The owners provided all the expected amenities. The hosts, Jas and Nav, were wonderful and went above and beyond to accommodate me and my 4-year-old during an extended stay. The beds were comfortable, breakfast was great, and the room had new appliances. The recycling bin in the room was a thoughtful touch.
Nothing not to love.

The hotel also offered good value for money, with reasonable prices and breakfast included in the room rate. Speaking of the rooms, they were clean and comfortable, providing all the basic amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring that any requests or inquiries were promptly addressed. Lastly, I appreciated the attention to detail, with good curtains to block out the early morning sun and adequate facilities provided in the room, including plates, glasses, and cutlery.
Everything was fine.
