WOW! As first time guests at this establishment, we were most impressed. Housekeeping, presentation and inclusions were superb. Big capital city hotels could learn valuable lessons from this motel. Bed was very comfy, night was quiet and location is ideal to wander along the river bank. Plenty of beverage supplies in the unit; and a lovely new clean kettle. We judge a room for cleanliness by the smell of the room. Highly scented means cleaning is not en par, hence fragrance to cover offensive odour. This room was not masked by fragrance and smelt and looked clean. We certainly do recommend this establishment to all guests.

Room was exactly as advertised. Basic but Very clean and tidy. Advantages room was pet friendly. Loved the clean fresh fragrance in the room. There were no staff onsite but staff answered phone to assist with queries. I’d happily stay there again is very close to shops and restaurants and is a fair price .

Have stayed at motel many times. This week stayed at motel and as usual found it very clean and tidy. Rooms were well serviced with coffee, tea and sugar provided. Room also has toaster and jug. Was greeted by a cheery Amy as I picked up my key. She was very helpful explaining wi-fi and other facilities the motel has. The motel is very close to town and club across river. Definitely will stay again.

Great room size, would appreciate if the air conditioning control could be lowered on the wall as it is too high, was not able to reach, especially as it over the bench area, had to use an implement to press the controls. Appreciated the housekeeping person offering to change our towels and provide more milk for our 2nd night. Housekeeping lady very polite. Unfortunately the shower leaks and the bathroom floor gets quite wet, however is an excellent size shower. Love having crockery, cutlery and wine glasses. Great location close to shops and eating places. Also quiet compared to the motels on the main road. Will definitely stay again

Cannot fault anything at this quaint motel at the Queanbeyan riverbank. Clean, comfortable rooms with amenities and facilities kept in good condition, showing care and investment into the property by the owners. Stayed during Oct long weekend and was very reasonably priced. Plenty of power sockets in easy to reach locations. Competition, take note.

We had an apartment/room which was really spacious and clean. The location being so close to the river offered us a quick walk into the CBD area over the river, and a lovely peaceful walk up the river. Definitely will stay there again.
