This property was very awkward to access as it was on the very busy Oxley Highway. It was supposed to be a delux room but it lacked facilities. The best thing was that it was pet friendly.

Very Basic but clean facilities. However on arrival the manager was quite rude and grumpy and our room was not ready, and had to wait another 30 minutes. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but when you have just driven 6 hours you just want to unpack and get to your room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was a mixed experience and we had booked it despite average reviews because we needed a pet friendly option for our little Cavoodle. The outside and pool areas were terrible, very messy and not like the photos. The room was large and mostly clean, the a/c good, sheets clean and we had a decent nights sleep. We weren’t happy about being charged an additional $40 for a later check in, apparently for them sending us a door pad code via sms.

For a pet friendly motel it was quite adequate. We did have to ask for some plates and cutlery but didn’t have any milk in the fridge. Outside grounds were not kept tidy and driveway was very cracked and broken. Could do with some outside tidying up. The shower was excellent.

The room was good and very clean. Fits up to 4 people. Kids loved the bunk beds. A few minutes drive to the shops and beach. Unfortunately, service was terrible. The landline number was disconnected and they didnt answer mobile or messages. We were charged $80 for a late check in fee even though it says we need to contact them to make an arrangement after 8 but of course they didnt answer or call back. When we showed them we had contacted them earlier in the day the man literally said 'i dont care'. This was after a very long drive.

Tried ringing Koala motel 1 hour prior to closing time at 8 pm to let them know of possible late arrival enroute from New Castle but had no 5G Optus coverage. Arrived just 1 minute past 8pm but the office was already shut and in darkness. Rang the after hours number and can only leave a message. Did that twice but did not ever get a call back. And yet we were charged the full price. We were lucky to get a room in nearby Mecure which is just a tiny bit more but good service, nice clean hotel and spacious. So buyers beware!!!
