Casa Nostra Motel
Love staying at the casa. I only stay in the back units as they have washer dryers in the rooms but I assume all other rooms are just as nice. Good quiet locations with plenty of grass and wildlife. Close to shopping centre and food options.

Capricorn Motel & Conference Centre
Check in was great, very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and looked great, good amenities too. Only downside is air con only just managed to take the heat out of the room,certainly not cool and mattress could do with replacing- not comfortable
