This is a very family friendly venue. The restaurant features an extensive menu with lots of dietary options and a great kids menu. As no breakfast is available on site it would have been great to have a toaster or microwave wave in the room.

Great value for money and perfect for somewhere to stay while working in the area. Bistro meals were a little pricey but the food was good and the serving was generous. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable however the motel in general could do with renovation.

Unfortunately the place is showing it's age, externally timber is rotting and downpipes rusting. Carpet had dirty spot and the timber bed base creaked all night. An upstairs occupant took my park out front of my room. Notes I put on my booking were either not past on by Expedia or ignored by business. Dining and meals were lovely
