Minotto Australia

We had breakfast from the van bacon and egg roll with coffee! Also got a club membership card that saved us on our drinks and meals.

Georgina Australia

The room is very clean and tidy, spacious room and only a 2 minutes walk to the town centre. Very friendly service, the complimentary bottles of water is a nice touch.

Michael Australia

Great location.😊 Lovely pool area though it was raining the whole time we were there so did not get to enjoy the area or use the other facilities eg.BBQ. 😒

Wendy Australia

Such a lovely place! Simple yet adequate! Incredible service by Sally! We were truly looked after and our needs were catered for. Great location! Walking distance to all restaurants. Spacious rooms with a beautiful balcony and view of the pool. Sally even kindly made us cocktails by the pool! Thank you so much!!

Lavina Australia

We got two rooms with verandah and the pool view - really happy to pay a little extra for that as the other rooms overlook the carpark. Pool area was nice too. Room was spacious, quiet, comfortable bed and clean. Walking distance to central town and restaurants. Great little spot to stay for a night or two. Would stay again if I had the same rooms.

Lesley Australia

If you want to be close to the centre of town, this is the place to be. Even though the place was a bit dated, it was clean and comfortable

John Australia

Motel was close to town centre, but not noisy so we had a good night's sleep.

Jon Australia

Jodie is amazing, very friendly and accommodating.

Cathy Australia

Right in the heart of town. Bed was very comfortable and the Rain Head shower is the best I've ever used. Staff we encountered were very friendly.
