Great value motel
We’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s always the same great value accommodation. It’s a no-frills type of motel but it’s very budget friendly and offers clean spacious rooms with comfy beds, hot showers, and free parking while being only about a 10min drive to the CBD. Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a budget friendly place to get a good sleep.

Clean and comfortable.
We needed a clean place close to the airport for one night . This place was very clean and offered a pub and a restaurant. We enjoyed great pub meal and adult beverage before we got comfortable in our room. Staff at the pub were really friendly and helpful. ( they helped us to check in)

Was very noisy lots of truck drivers and trucks going in and out and one driver kept honking his horn and watching trucks coming through the car park and watching them just miss my vehicle was frightening not to mention the truck that took up 3 parks and was not in the truck parking area also on our 2nd night had very noisy couple next door who had no respect for neighbours and kept us awake til 12.30am I would not recommend this Motel if you are looking to get a good nights rest
