This is a regular stop for us … this facility is great.
Quiet little town on the river, convenient location for a night or 2 when driving up or down the coast. Room was basic & renovated, very clean & bed was very comfortable- a great stay
A great overnight stopover with.convenient access to the freeway. Close to a great pizza place and the RSL. The river is close by too. Rooms were clean and comfortable and check in was a breeze.
We had booked 2 rooms for one night, and were going to book somewhere else after our day trip to Sydney. We liked the place so much we booked the second night there as well. The owners have done a superb job of renovating each room. They were clean, tidy and well sound proofed. The shower head was one of the highlights (you will see) and the bed was really comfortable. I cant fault this place.
Didn’t think much of the property of a night time you can’t even see through Paul lighting cockroach infested only good thing. Was the beds were comfortable. Is the fleas won’t jumping on you.
A great little spot. Quiet. The hotel has had a recent revamp not a full upgrade but some nice artworks in the room, very comfortable bed with good quality linen and towels. Fridge, Tele and kettle . A noisy but very efficient reverse cycle heater. The place felt good and the people were nice. Close to well stocked supermarket and takeout.
