The cups and sink were not very clean and my husband spent time improving both. The room was dark but clean enough. Best point was being relatively close to Tasmania ferry.

Old style motel ground floor units. Tight car park. Welcome at reception was fine. Rooms have plenty of room and clean but the place is getting tired. Maintenance required. Location is good. Pub next door with good meals. Supermarket and food outlets close by.
