Liked: Cleanliness
Close to the park. Generally, a decent enough place to stay. A $100 deposit was requested, which I did not notice on any of the info given on the motel. When the EFTPOS machine didn't work, I was asked if I had enough money (worked the second time with a different method). There was an incident at about 1:30 AM where a person was persistently yelling and knocking at a different unit and lasted for at least 30 min intermittently.

We really enjoyed our short stay. The Receptionist was lovely and helpful. The premises was clean, tidy and homely. It could do with an update though however that did not take away from the hospitality or comfort. We would stay here again. Thank you Team Southern comfort xox
