Great Stop Over Place

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 5, 2025via mobile
Very clean and spacious rooms. Everything we needed for a break from our campervan.
Great facilities and enough kitchen equipment to be self sufficient for a couple of days.
Beds were super comfy and the bedding was lovely.

There are a few places to eat and buy groceries very near by.

Beautiful clean place to stay, we booked 2 units with separate bedrooms. So slept 8 adults. The tavern is out the back gate which was handy for good pub food. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
They showed us different maps for local attractions. Will definitely stay there again.

Room tip: The pool is in a sheltered corner and private. Parking is slightly tight meaning you back out on to the road.

The room was exceptionally clean, spacious & nicely dark at night. Heat pump/air con in room. Location is excellent just a 5 minute drive to the city centre but you don’t have to drive as there are quite a few restaurants/takeaway places just a few metres away. Bit of street noise but not too bad.

This place is beautifully clean, amazing shower, comfortable bed. I wasn't disturbed by noise. There are light blocking curtains across the front of the studio, but light did come through the blind at the back. When i stayed it was really quiet i rented a room that had fridge, microwave, ironing board and iron.
I would stay here again. Good value, very clean, felt safe.

The entrance sign is a little obscured on Kamo Road, but is easy to find from the Kensington intersection. Turn on the road with the Kensington Tavern to access the property from the rear.

Room tip: Be on the Kamo Road to find this place easily.

This was our first stay with this motel. We were very impressed. We were warmly welcomed after a horrendous drive up through a severe rainstorm. The hosts were very helpful. We stayed in a two bedroom unit and it was very spacious. The room was a wee bit dated but the hosts have recently installed many things such as new curtains, heatpumps etc. There was a well equipped kitchen, Sky TV, and a designated carpark for your unit. There was an outdoor pool which was splendid. Overall we loved our stay and we will return for sure.

Room tip: Two bedroom unit is very spacious
