Driveway needs repairing, we were on motorbikes and it was not easy.

Pros:

Great location

We were there 2 nights - strangely the room was not serviced during our stay. The room itself is very small and the air-conditioner blows directly on the bed making sleeping at night uncomfortable

Very noisy function venue with attractive decor & outlook
Pros:

Spacious & nicely decorated rooms.

Cons:

We booked 3 rooms for a family visit to the town & were placed either side of the function room that had previously been a restaurant. On the first night there was incredibly loud music & a lot of noise from party guests entering & exiting the function room doors and smokers gathering just outside the doors of our rooms. The loud music didn’t stop until we contacted the off-site manager just before midnight. Hand basin taps in one bathroom stopped working on the first night.

Beautiful comfortable room. High bar stools on deck with short table not great. Had to drive to get dinner as restaurant
Pros:

Immaculately clean, well stocked mini bar, comfy bed

Cons:

No staff on site and restaurant/bar closed. The restaurant was party why i picked this Motel. It was between this one and one in Cowra.

Could do better
Pros:

The manager Craig was very welcoming in advance by telephone and briefly on arrival. He kindly upgraded us.

Cons:

The fridge we expected to be available for our use was filled with wine, soft drinks, chocolates for sale as expected in a CITY hotel not a country motel.
The numerous signs warning of additional charges if the white linen, decorative pillows, towels and chairs were marked with dirt were offensive. As a 4.5star full service b&b owner/ proprietor for 13 years I never once asked for cleaning fees. If you have all white linens as I did you expect to have to clean it

In addition there was road noise.

It was also disappointing to find no staff on site overnight and only one other group of guests. The advertised restaurant did not function.
