Property was clean, as was the general area surrounding the cabin. However, the furniture was tired and the bed as hard as a rock as were the pillows. But overall the property, which was never expected to be 5 star, met my overall requirements of a clean and tidy place to overnight on a limited budget.

Thank you for your review. We've had no other complaints about the bed in that cabin and have had several return guests request that cabin specifically so we're guessing it's what type of bed you're accustomed to. We keep our prices down so furniture is maintained but not always updated. We're pleased you found our cabins clean as we pride ourselves on cleanliness at a good price.

Hi Alister, Thank you for taking time to review. We were shocked to hear the cabin was not clean as this is most unusual. We usually get really good comments on our cleanliness. We do apologize and are sorry you didn't inform us immediately so we could rectify the matter for you.

Sorry to take so long to respond to your complaint. We do apologize for the treatment you received as it is our policy to order a taxi for our guests on request as we have a direct automated service. The staff member you dealt with has now moved on to other employment so we are confident this will not happen again.

Excellent basic accommodation with friendly staff.
After a Long day's driving it was great to be greeted by a Friendly, efficient receptionist with loads of local knowledge. We were quickly given our key and directed to our ensuited cabin. All was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The location is quiet considering how close it is to the Bruce Highway. It is within easy walking distance to a shopping centre that includes places to eat. Will definitely stay here the next time we are driving north. Great value for money.

Thanks for your review Fred. Getting here is no problem if you enter Farrelly's Road from the Bruce Highway. Unfortunately some navigator systems try to take you in the back way and the old median strip causes confusion. Glad you found us. Hopefully you'll drop by again now you know where we are.

wont come again
booking though Wotif, three days prior to stay. staff on arrival did not know of our booking, blamed wotif even though we had a sms confirmation. ḧas happened a few times this week¨ have you ever stood not knowing whether your going to have a place to stay with thoughts of how you will get a refund running through your head. no eye contact from staff member, mumbling to the desk, uncertainty about whats available. eventually put into a cabin right next to the entry road with traffic coming and going till late and very early in the morning. just been cleaned, very strong disinfectant smell, pile of laundry in entry. same standard of customer service on leaving.
Response from Ann on 2016/10/19
We apologize for the unsatisfactory experience you had on your recent visit and can only conclude that the receptionist was flustered at not being able to find notification of your booking. The sms you received as confirmation came from Wotif, not the accommodation provider. The linen outside your cabin was awaiting pick up as the room had only just been cleaned, hence the fresh smell of cleaning agents. This can happen when we allow early check in. Again, we apologise if you were not happy with your stay here and thank you for your feed back. We usually have nothing but praise for our customer service but we always work on improving.

Dont stay hear
Was able to check in early thats where the niceness stopped so called family villa was very small double bed stuffed in a corner and 2 small made up bunk beds jamed in beside a cupboard that looked straight into the bathroom toilet which at night we pulled the mattress off and threw on the floor because any kids older then about 4 would not fit into (our kids 12 and 13) lucky we where very busy and out alot so dindnt really eat in room untill the second night when we realized the microwave was dirty and still had food in it the tv hardly worked wouldnt pick up channels and was very small air conditioner was full of dust had to clean it as it wouldn't really cool the room bathroom door would latch and anybody over 3 foot tall didnt fit in the shower easy and im 5'9 will never stay again and will ensure nobody i know dose either
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Firstly, we apologize if the microwave and air-con were not properly cleaned. We don't consider that acceptable and are unsure how that happened as we get excellent feed back on our cleaning standards. I can only assume the early check in may have put pressure on our cleaners and an error was made. Hopefully our relief staff cleaned it for you when you advised them. We explain on booking that our bunks are suited to small adults or children. We agree, they are not suitable for large people although we do get many adults who use them. Our televisions pick up several channels so again, our staff could have checked the settings for you. We really are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay as we have many repeat customers who are very happy in the family rooms as they offer cooking facilities at an affordable price for families. We, the managers were away when you stayed and are unable to check with the relief staff what happened but we do hope that your complaints were dealt with at the time. We certainly "take on board" any dissatisfaction with our facilities and endeavour to make improvements where possible.

When you want the advantage of kitchen facilities
The motel experience isn't for me as I am on a special diet and require kitchen facilities....so this accommodation was perfect. Not too far from the CBD, clean, quiet and comfortable WITH a kitchen. And all for the price one would pay for a motel room containing only a bed. OK it isn't luxury however I wasn't looking for luxury...and this cabin provided very comfortable and convenient accommodation.

Thank you for your review. (Sorry to take so long to respond - only just saw it). So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come visit us again. We also have a new BBQ Hut now if you like to cook outdoors.

The rooms was very cold we didn't fell like the right place to stay I won't go back again
Response from Ann on 2016/10/19
We did have an unusual cold snap at that time of year but we do provide extra blankets and there is a heater in each cabin. We are always happy to provide extra bedding if requested by anyone who feels uncomfortably cool.
