Utterly disappointed!!!! The owner grumpily told my 8 year old daughter at 8pm, when still daylight to stop riding her newly gifted skateboard outside our room!!!! Who gets upset at the sound of happiness? The sun was still out! RUDE We didn't complain when the shower blocked with so much water it was a health hazard! Or the rooms being hot and stuffy with no airflow. If you have a young family, this motel IS NOT SUITABLE. You should state on your website, No kids allowed!!!! No sounds of children's enjoyment allowed!!! However, late night partying, loud music & fights are most welcome after 10pm.

Two couples stayed in the two bedroom unit. Chosen for the lounge as meeting long lost relatives. A real home from home. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Full kitchen facilities with fridge/freezer, though I suggest you bring your own tea and coffee if you go through a lot. Cups and plates cater for minimum of five people. Comfortable beds, modern shower and hand basin area. Spacious lounge with extra bed. Location ideal with several eating places around the corner and supermarkets within walking distance. Motel was full which says something. Sandra is a cheerful and helpful host and we would definitely stay here again.

I had both an early morning & late afternoon appointment, so we stayed the night before & following night as well. Very nice greeting by Sandra who showed us to our unit & explained all we needed to know. We had a one bedroom unit, which gave more space & worked well for us. The Motel is close to the Kensington Hospital on the old Kamo Road & should suit anybody visiting there. We also noticed little if any traffic noise from the road. Sandra & Paul looked after us very well indeed & we would gladly stay again thanks.

This motel is conveniently located very close to Kensington Hospital (walking distance) as well as good restaurants and two supermarkets. Spotlessly clean with all facilities, including kitchenette, small fridge, wifi and comfortable armchairs. An older-style building but it has everything you could want.
