10/10 Exceptional

On the edge of town, and for me, convenient to head straight out of town the next morning to Port Macdonnel.

4/10 Fair

Very noisy air conditioners

The air conditioners are poorly located and very noisy. The air conditioner for the next door room kept me awake for most of the night.
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No one at reception to great us on arrival at 2pm. Had to phone to get instructions for Room number & admission to it. Toilet bowl dirty with seat half off plus shower screen hanging off rail which had to be rehung prior to use.location only redeeming feature.
Jane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very good motel. The rooms are nice and clean and spacious . The owners too, are very friendly people and I thought the rates were excellent.No complaints at all. I have stayed there before and will happily stay there again.
Pieter, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Would have been nice to have AC on after arriving after a very hot day. Only 2 towels for 3 people and no faces after a hot sweaty day and having booked for 3 people wasn’t ideal. Shower is very old and grubby.

Spacious rooms and quiet. Is 4 km from Portland CBD. Inexpensive.
Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean and tidy. Facilities to make a coffee, but the kettle would not fit under tap in the bathroom so made that a little tricky. Overall ,a pleasant and comfy stay.
