The room was tidy and met our needs for our stay. The staff were kind enough to let us check out late as our flight left in the afternoon and let us use some cleaning equipment when needed too. We were able to have our cat with us too, so were very grateful for that.
Was amazing the staff are friendly and if you have any problems or need anything they are more than happy to help. Thank you for the beautiful weekend i definitely will come back again

We chose this motel mainly because it was handy to the railway station. The Wi Fi in our room was absolutely hopeless, the dining/sitting area was quite small, we did however have a comfortable stay.
Friendly, helpful staff. Great shower. Room clean and well stocked. Could do with some hooks in the bathroom to hang towels.

The receptionist was helpful, room is quite clean inside (I wondered as it is like a flat with 2 bedrooms with more than 2 beds). The motel and carpark area maybe an old building. The other guests who talked in loudly voices may disturb my peaceful stayed.
Thank you for helpful information about the Mana Cruising club.
Thank you to management, pleasant friendly and approachable , great service , tidy , love that the facilities are pet friendly .
Will definitely return in the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There were Ants in the kitchenette. Old facilities that need an upgrade. The staff was really nice though.

The motel was in a very convenient position for us. The staff were very attentive and polite. They helped us stay for an extra night when requested in the same unit. The motel is an old one but the kitchen and bathroom facilities have been nicely modernised. The structure is showing its age and some attention to doors and windows is needed but overall it is reasonable value for money.

Reasonably priced.
Stayed two nights as a family of three. Towels weren't changed at all for second day. Nowhere in bayhroom to hang your towel or clothes and no handrail for handtowel. Had to bring dining chair into bathroom to put towel etc on. Vape left under one of the beds from previous people, child found ehich was a bit icky.
One small heater to heat whole unit so was a bit cold
Very clean though and convenience to where we needed to go.
Maybe long term residents staying by looks of it.
Only stayed here for one night this time round but would come again. Our room was good, very hot though, air conditioning would be a wonderful investment. Also the plug sockets behind the single beds were a little dodgy and the bathroom door had a gap when closed where you could clearly see through.
Other than that, it was a nice place to chill for the night.

The service was great but the motel is in port shape though the bathroom and kitchen are relatively new the rest of the motel is really dated. We didn’t enjoy being in the lounge room. The couch was not comfortable and it was shabby and tired.
