Not up to scratch!
I've stayed here a few times and had been okay so far, but the bathroom this time wasn't great. The two heat lamps didn't go and when you looked at the state of the unit it was pretty bad. Also I turned on a wall switch which must've been for the spa bath, which suddenly started going, but you couldn't turn it off at the bath as the switch there looked broken. The heat pump looked like a panel had been broken and was noisy as well. A bit tired overall, especially for a motel that uses the word luxury, when it is far from it.

Awesome service. We extended our stay using Wotif app and this wasn’t communicated to the motel. Fortunately they had a room and moved a bed into the lounge for our son. Brilliant service thank you.
