“Excellent motel. It is our fourth stop and we will be back for sure. The rooms are comfy, clean and well equipped. There is even a bbq and an oven to use outside. The owner is super friendly and very helpful. He helped us park our camper and also let us unpack our camping gear to dry in his garden. The garden/park is so well maintained, it is just nice to walk around and enjoy the grassy areas, flower beds and trees. Probably one of the best motel if you are travelling with a dog !”

“The accommodation was basic but had everything that one had wanted. Prices were reasonable. It is near the highway but the traffic noise wasn't too bad. Not too far from Orbost. The service was good, with the staff being friendly.”

“The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet—perfect for resting. I stayed here while doing a long road trip from Victoria to Queensland. As a backpacker from Indonesia, this place was exactly what I needed to properly rest and recharge my energy before continuing a long journey. I had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this place.”
