Really impressed with this Motel. We were a little concerned booking a motel in the first place but we arrived into a reception with a home feel, peaceful music and incense burning was a nice touch. We were greeted by a really friendly welcome and shown personally to our room which i thought was another nice touch. Once inside the... More

Don't judge a book by its cover! This motel looked pretty old and in need of a facelift from the outside but the bed in the King Room was one of the best I have ever slept on. Really friendly and helpful staff. I got a personal email on the day prior to my arrival to wish me safe travels!... More

The title says it all really. The property is clean, fresh, well appointed and the owner is very helpful and friendly. Like most properties in Coffs, they are located on or near the highway and there are heavy trucks passing throughout the night.

Room was very tidy and clean. Very friendly staff. Bed was comfortable. Reception desk smells a bit of dog, since owner's dog stays there. If you don't like the smell of dog, think this will really be a drawback. Pet friendly place though. What I really disliked was the location. Even though it is a bit of the highway, the... More

Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. Whilst we are pleased you appear to have enjoyed elements of your stay, like most properties in Coffs Harbour, we are located on the highway. Many guests see this as a benefit but this appears to have been concern for you. Perhaps next time if you choose to stay with us,... More
