Budget pricing but excellent accommodation... spotless, spacious, very comfortable and updated room. Katoomba was freezing, wet and blowing a gale on the night of our visit so electric blankets and effective heating were very welcome - also provided was a toaster and fresh milk on request ..our friends, staying elsewhere and paying three times the price did not enjoy these...

When we first drove in we were slightly concerned as the outside of the property looked like it could do with a lick of paint, and the pool didn't look very appealing. However at check-in, and the owners were really friendly and helpful. When we got to our room it was very clean, and had everything we needed - including... More

Our room was spacious and clean and had all amenities you need for one night stay, bathroom was also ok. And the motel is located conveniently while travelling in Blue Mountains and getting to nearby sightseeings.

The hotel was clean and tidy and I suspect reasonably priced for the area but not really anything special. I stayed there because it was near where I needed to go but in hindsight I'd probably choose something further away with more atmosphere. Bed was comfortable. Neighbours were noisy but that's not the hotel owners fault!

The owners were very nice ,very helpful and the location was great. It is unfortunate that I cannot give positive feedback past that. It was A/C but it was dingy and smelly,old mould mothball smell. Nothing like the picture on the website, we were really disappointed. It was a $60 per night quality and we paid more than twice that.... More

Thank you for your review. We are disapponted you did not enjoy your stay with us. I must stress all our rooms are 100% non-smoking. We will certainly address the issue of guests smoking in front of other guests rooms and look at setting up a designated smoking area away from the rooms. The heavy rains did have an slight... More

Very friendly and helpful staff. A good-sized, clean room that had just been refurbished. A lovely pool and barbecue area. We had a very pleasing stay. Our expectations were met plus more. Wi-Fi and breakfast are extra but are inexpensive. Thank you!

I found the room quite dingy and run down, with an unpleasant smell which made me sneeze and my eyes run. A few hours after leaving the hotel the following day, it cleared up so I assume the damp peppery smell was to blame. The room was clean, but the pool water was slightly cloudy and did not seem clean... More
