First off, it must be mentioned that the motel is going through a renovation, and based on what's been done so far it will be even better once complete. To me, good accommodation means both product and service so I'll speak to each separately. In terms of product, we stayed in a waterview twin. The room had been refreshed (painted,... More

We only stayed one night here in a triple room while attending a party in Warners Bay. It is a typical 60s/70s style motel across the road from the lake. The pluses are that it has fresh paint, new carpets and the room was immaculately clean. We returned from the party after midnight to find a dripping noise from the... More

Hi Thanks for your review - we appreciate the positive comments. Again, our apologies for the noise on the roof that night. It seems that a hose had come loose from one of the restaurant cooling towers and a lot of water was flooding the gutters - glad we got it sorted because it was very loud and wasting heaps... More

We stayed at the Eco Inn while we went down the road for a wedding. The bedding is great, the top rooms have views of the lake. It is a slightly upgraded version of a motel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great price for no frills beds.

The good: Management (Andrew I think?) was very welcoming and helpful whenever we had anything to do with him. Great location - within a 10 minute walk along the foreshore lots of shops and a great park. The Lake was right across the road from the inn. The attached Tepinkyaki restaurant was great. We didn't have a booking, but got... More

Andrew welcomed me to the hotel in a very friendly manner. Thumbs up for him. However, I was put in a very dirty room which caused my 11 month old baby to get black from crawling on the carpet!! Outrageous. I sneezed for hours due to the very strong odour of freshly painted walls. Honestly, if I could I'd have... More
