My wife and I stayed for two nights before and two nights after our 4 day "safari" tour of the outback sights (e.g. Uluru) in the Great Red Center. The rooms were large, well maintained, had kitchen facilities and were reasonably priced. The managers Ramon and Ann were kind and courteous. They provided advice on things to see, booked transportation... More

“Couldn't handle the swearing and carry on from the premises next door”

We booked this place over the internet, unseen and going by the reviews on this site This hotel is basically in the middle of town not on the outskirts of town, one may get the wrong impression from some of the...

In answer to your review, we would like to say that the noise and swearing that you endured, actually came from guests staying at the motel. These guests were from Melbourne. They had a domestic argument that apparently... More

Hello Ron, Thank you for your kind words. My wife was happy to go around and give out the Easter goodies, especially with her rabbit ears on. It was all part of the fun, but also to do something special for the people that were possibly away from their families. Being a smaller motel, we feel we can have that... More

“Got rip off.”

We stayed there for 8 days.. But unfortunately, they just cleaned our rooms once and once we asked to change our towel, the manager said they can only change it after 3 days. When we left, i saw the cleaner cleaning our rooms..Needless to say, we did not hear anything about 'ruining' that room. As a partner, I always check... More

Dear Madam, I will go through your accusations and address each one of them. 1. We replaced your towels immediately upon request by you. Towel replacements are automatically done every 3 days, unless guests place them on the floor, and then they are automatically changed and we addressed this with you. We also offered you pool towels for swimming. 2.... More

Well priced and only 10minutes walk to everything in town. Has cooking facilities, very friendly management with great service. They book your airport transfers etc, simply take away the headaches and running around. Solid local advice of what to see and do, transport is nearby and many courtesy and shuttle buses etc pull up regularly. More
