Nice easy stay, provided late check in for us. Room was big and had lots of ammenities. Clean kitchen, bathroom and lounge. The only down thing we experienced were the Utes that parked in the entrance way, real tight to squeeze past. Friendly reception too :) would stay again!

This motel was very quiet and peaceful – that's a big deal for me. It's within short walking distance of the main shopping area in Taradale, which has many bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The staff of the motel were very friendly and they gave us a free upgrade to a two-roomed unit – that was VERY kind – it blew us away.

Unfortunately the Sky television connection went down on the third night and as a result we had no tv for the remaining 4 nights, but when I went to hand in the key we received a decent amount of discount which was great.
