I honestly can’t even begin to tell you how AMAZING this motel was! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with the freshest, cleanest smell. The room was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and everything smelled incredible. I even had to ask the lovely person at reception what their secret was to getting the linen to smell SO amazing and they kindly shared their secret with me, which I’ll definitely be using at home! The motel is beautifully maintained, reasonably priced, and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. I will 1000% be recommending this place to anyone and everyone. I’ve stayed in plenty of places, but this one has definitely set the standard. This will now be my go-to place to stay whenever I’m in Darwin. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough! ❤️

Absolutely filthy and terrible customer service

I had a terrible stay. It was my birthday and my birthday plans were cancelled and delayed due to lockdowns. I finally made it out of a remote community to celebrate my birthday and sadly this stay was a huge disappointment. The property is absolutely filthy. From the moment you walk in the floors are dirty with rubbish, dirt, leaves every where. The first room I was given was disgustingly the shower drain was clogged with black hair. There was hair all over the room and the floors had clearly not been cleaned. I wiped down the benches and my white cloth turned brown quickly. The bedsheets had not been changed. I called and asked for new sheets. The man was very rude and seemed very put out. He asked me to show him what I was let happy with and he told me he couldn’t see any problems. He then said this isn’t the ritz what we’re you expecting. He said he wouldn’t give me nw sheets but he would give me a new room. This room was even worse condition with the white sheets stained by what looked like blood. It was fairly late and I had birthday dinner plans and asked him for new sheets. He told me that I could go and find another place that is more to my high standards. I don’t expect much just cleanliness. He said what do u expect for $70 a night? I said I paid $120 and that I expected clean sheets at the very least. He gave me the sheets but he was a very very rude man. I would not stay here again and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

This Motel is a bit remote if you don't have your own transport. Bathroom needs somewhere to put toiletries other than on the window ledge. Definitely needs a full time receptionist to inform guests of the sights, tours etc.
