Ned Kelly's Motel
Room was spotless. Had everything we needed for an overnight stay after a brutal overnight flight. Lovely staff. Was a catch up on sleep stay as we headed up North. It’s not a five star luxury resort so rating it for what it is.

Carriers Arms Hotel
It was a very convenient location as I was attending a function just across the car park. The bar staff were amazing at the function. Staff at reception were also amazing. The accommodation is comfortable, just old, it had everything I needed for the night stay over.
