The place is lovely and the staff do polite. It is an older building so there are some quirks but we had a wonderful stay. The water was hot, bed comfy and everything to our needs. Breakfast was basic but good. The staff really made it, they clearly love the place and their customers.

The new owners are very nice, love the details of the place. Only thing was our room was a bit cold, 30 degrees with all blankets I was still cold. Informed the reception/owner, they said will check it. But again, breakfast was very nice, nice and simple, beds are comfortable, the area is b Quiet, RSL across the road for great food. It’s a little gem, we have stayed in blue mountains many times a year to visit family, I’m glad we found this little cozy motel. And will definitely come back again.
