Overnight stay while driving from Melbourne to Brisbane. A visit to the excellent Japanese gardens was planned for morning after stay. Room/bathroom was very clean.

Excellent facility I can tell it's cleaned and maintained daily. The bed was really good. Good sized bathroom & toilet. Table & Chairs also outside. I was very happy with my stay. I got to meet both the managers and both lovely people. Well worth staying. No road noise. The only noise was from the pub music across the road but only the music not the patrons.

It was dissapointing not to have Fox tv available, for $150 per night at an average, now tired Motel on a noisey Highway we won't be back again, no imporvements since we first stayed in 2005.
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023
Response from owner on May 6, 2023
as most people have streaming service it is impractical to supply foxtel & their service became quite poor for the price , motel is on the main street and as you have been here before you knew the setup. Quite entitled to seek other accommodation,we wish you happy travels.As a future reference generally if you book direct you will get a better rate than OTA's. who charge commission

Comfortable and clean motel. It was good to have a microwave and a toaster in the room too. The offer of additional plates , cutlery etc was useful if you needed , even though we did not need to request any. Breakfast to the room was convenient.
