BOOK NOW

We stayed at the motel last night & the room was very comfortable. All ammenities were great and made the stay enjoyable. Would highly recommend staying here.

Very clean room, with electrical blankets, owner even stayed awake to let my son and I into our room. Room was clean, with plenty of towels and extra blankets. Great stay, definitely recommend! Please please please, do yourself a favour and don’t book through the booking app Agoda, the motel doesn’t get a cent from it 😭, little did I know. Book straight through the hotel and support the small businesses. ELECTRIC BLANKETS! The electrical outlets had children safe plugs in them! Such a small but amazing gesture.

On the way back to Adelaide from Victoria we stranded due to flood. When we reached to the motel, there wasn't any vacany but Robin went up and beyond to help us out in this difficult situation. She got us arranged a Campervan and let it parked in her parking area. She helped us by any means, next day after getting the vacancy she prepared a room for 6 of us. Room was amazing, cozy and very cleaned. She also brought food and snacks for us and kids as we ran out of food due to flood. She is a super lady with the biggest heart in the whole Australia. I would definitely stay there again if I'm ever going that way.

Stayed here many times very clean nice people to deal with will come back again

We had a fantastic stay. Robyn was lovely and went above and beyond to help us with booking our room and checking in. The room was cosy, extreemly clean and the shower pressure was amazing. The communal kitchen was a really nice touch and the kids had a great time playing darts. Highly recommend and look forward to staying here again.
