Remember that this is a small country motel… not a flashy B&B or city accommodation.
Having said that, it is an excellent place to stay. Check in friendly, efficient and quick. Rooms clean and comfortable. Walk a few paces to the hotel for a great meal, and to some interesting little shops as well as essentials eg. chemist, supermarket, liquor. Cafes great for breakfast! A lovely barbecue and lawn area. Right opposite The Great Southern Rail Trail. Very safe and convenient for a single traveller passing through, and ideal for cyclists and walkers!

Friendly staff. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The motel was right next to the Meeniyan Hotel so an easy walk next door for a pub meal. Liked the close proximity of the motel to all essential services such as the general store, cafes, petrol station etc. The only drawback was noise of heavy trucks driving past late at night and early in the morning.

Comfortable stay, very friendly and obliging staff. Room was a little smaller than we’d hoped, but had everything we needed for a couple of days stay.

Stay here overnight cycling the rail trail and was very happy with the room. Located beside the pub which was excellent for dinner. Much better than the hotel in Fish Creek

Nice motel - particularly was happy with the instant hot water and great shower pressure which sometimes you don't get in small country town motels. Great stay!
