One night stay on the road to QLD.

Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

Convenient overnight stop.

A good motel for an overnight stop. A short drive off the highway. Room was comfortable although a little dated. Staff welcoming. Close to RSL and a few small eateries.

We checked in on an extremly hot afternoon. Althugh the front door was open behind a screen door, the airconditioner was not running on our arrival. It took about 40 minutes for the air conditioner to cool down the room after we turned it on.

The room was clean. The air-conditioner was great. The wi-fi was a great benefit but the bed was not good . My husband and I spent the night rolling into one another, which would have been fine had it been winter, but not good in summer .
