First impression was okay but we were put off using the spa bath by a build up of hair in the plug hole. The basin had mould around the plug hole. There was an old TV on a bracket sticking out over the door entrance which is very dangerous.My wife got a nasty bang on the head when returning to... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and found it to be very comfortable, clean and tidy. There was a machine and a drier which was brilliant as we had stayed in hotels previously. Breakfast was basic but then you get what you paid for. There was a spa pool to use and free wifi which was great after a lot of... More

We were due to stay in the Courtney Motel for two nights just before Christmas Dec 2012. We managed one night, (one too many)! When we arrived, none of the main lights were working, there was mould growing in the fridge and around the shower cubicle, kitchen utensils were broken and crockery needed washing - generally there was a dirty...

This motel has been taken over by Quest, who should be ashamed to offer this to holiday makers through ANZCRO. Thankfully the managers upgraded us to the real Quest and we lived happily ever after. Courtney is old and tired and by the managers admission only suitable for workers from the mines, who only want a bed at night. The... More

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. We do appreciate the feedback. All our Courtney Motel rooms are non smoking, so your experience is of concern to us. Rest assured we will be undertaking a additional action to rid the room you had of any residual tobacco smell caused by a previous guest. I do apologise for this.... More

I stayed in Courtney Motel for four days - probably far too long to be based in a south facing unit with not much room to move. The unit itself was tidy, pleasant enough, with a large bath if a soak is a treat. Short walk to the lake and 20 minutes walk to the township.
