Old photos give false impressions
The saying you get what you pay for rings very true on this trip. This was a 3 day break for myself and my partner for some prior Christmas mayhem relaxation. From the time you turn into the driveway to when you pull up at your room entrance run down, old and untidy come to mind. Reception people were nice to deal with but there is no feeling of escape here. The pool photos look nothing like the pool, the actual pool has a green tinge and all the concrete on the bottom is patchy and losing it’s colour. Not inviting at all. Near our room there was a communal ashtray and small bin which contained probably a 100 or so cigarette butts and looked awful, there were also quite a few empty pizza boxes etc strewn around the bin area but on the floor. The room was big enough and clean but dated like the rest of the place. I think I remember this place used to be booked out for weddings and functions many years ago. Definitely a shadow of it’s former self. I wouldn’t recommend the place in it’s current state and highly recommend management employ some cleaners and groundskeepers. A hardcore renovation may do something towards saving this place but unfortunately I think it would cost too much.

DO NOT STAY HERE!
I recently stayed here with my elderly 86 year old mother. When we arrived we found out that there was NO food available. No room service, no restaurant, no breakfast, NOTHING! The entire complex looked very run down. When I drove around to our room (closest to the busy road), we were met by 3 tradies with their shirts off, swigging from bottles and sitting on the rocks at the edge of the garden carpark smoking. Unfortunately these guys were in the room next to us. They later smoked RIGHT outside our room with the cigarette smoke coming into our sleeping area. Our room was SO dark, mum could hardly see! I think it was dark to hide the fact that the room was so vile it would not pass the 'Gordon Ramsay' blue light test! It was obvious that nothing had really been cleaned or disinfected. The shower had mould in the grout. The facilities were SO pathetic that there wasn't even a single biscuit. I had to take the disgusting white jug to the reception as it was full of black mould. We had had no dinner and certainly wouldn't get any breakfast. I was given a black jug instead probably so I couldn't see the mould in this one. There were bugs in the bed! There was also mosquitoes in the room as there was a lot of vegetation in the untended gardens outside the room. I got NO sleep whatsoever. There was a child crying and coughing all night on the other side of us & people coming back late above us! I would NEVER stay here again.
Clean room, basic but all we needed
The motel is a little run down but the lady on reception was lovely and welcoming and very helpful, the room was very clean and functional, all the linen was in excellent condition the beds and pillows felt fresh and lovely. Tv, ac, beautiful strong hot showers, lovely big glass windows for lots of natural light but curtains if you want privacy no problem. The setting is absolutely magnificent, there’s a stunning national park right across the road (be careful crossing!), the Buddha belly restaurant and Forestway fresh are both a very short stroll away (same side of the road) and the food was amazing! Thank you xx
